Philippa WillittsLittle things that make me disproportionately happy #3
The #AuthorClock!
Why does it makes me so happy? It reminds me that when I'm checking the time (often because I'm stressed!), that there is a world outside of whatever feels urgent in the moment. Also it is just enriching!

Real SyntacticThe clock displays each minute’s time as it appears verbally or numerically in passages from thousands of different literary works, a new passage every minute. The quotes appear on a black and white LCD screen that resembles the screen of a vintage Mac computer embedded in a wooden case. The whole experience is a bit like watching Christian Marclay’s 24-hour montage extravaganza “The Clock”—which I saw 2 or 3 hours of in Winnipeg in 2012–in a late 80s fern bar. Book geek heaven. #authorclock 2/2
16 months ago, @markcharnell contributed to a Kickstarter by Jose Cardona’s Mechanical Design Labs to support development of an Author Clock. When I saw the prototype mock-up, I said to Mark, “I have never wanted anything so much in my whole life.” The Author Clock became my birthday present for an age I have not been for 14 months. It arrived today, after months in which Cardona reported on quote collection and and product development. And I am in love. #authorclock 1/2
Carolin (Kamera-)KramApropos sündhaft teure #Kickstarter: Diese Woche ist nach etwas über zwei Jahren meine #AuthorClock angekommen. Porto und Einfuhrumsatzsteuer waren nochmal echt happig, letztendlich hab ich vermutlich insgesamt ungefähr die spätere UVP bezahlt. Aber sie ist wirklich hübsch anzusehen, so aus Eiche und Messing.
Und dass sie mir drei Minuten nach dem Einrichten bereits so die Uhrzeit angezeigt hat, hat mich tatsächlich wirklich glücklich gemacht. 🥰 #Pterry
