LED Binary Clock - not so good in the middle of the night!

LED Binary ClockIt’s easy for any self-respecting geek to figure out how to read this clock in a few minutes. Check out the image below for the details. Still don’t get it? Then you probably shouldn’t buy one, should you? Sure you could wing it and ‘approximate’ the time based on the position of the sun and act like you can read this clock, but you should probably go get one of these instead.

Computers use on/off switches to tell the time, now you can too! Get one of these puppies and you are on your way to truly becoming one with the binary…

A binary time-piece

LED Binary WatchThis watch displays time in binary format. It uses LED lights to display the time.  The watch face contains 10 red LEDs that are used to indicate the numbers of the binary sequence (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32) and the values of the lighted LEDs are added to determine the time. There are two rows of LEDs - the top row for the hours and the bottom row for the minutes. With a little practice you can learn to read this time format easily. Won’t it be fun the next time someone asks you “what time is it?” and you can enjoy their bewildered expression when you flash your wrist emblazoned with glowing binary? Yes it will, you quietly smirk to yourself.This watch also has a soft leather band, a circuitboard watch face, and stainless steel back and casing. It is water resistant to 3 atmospheres and comes with batteries.

The Pong Dress

pong on a dressThe Pong Dress is the creation of artists Max Moswitzer and Magarete Jahrmann of the Ludic Society.

The classic video game Pong is implemented on a 5×7 LED screen worked into the front of the dress. Two pixels on the right and left borders form the paddles; a single pixel is the “ball” moving back and forth.

At hip level, two retro-style game console controllers are plugged in to play the game. Every time a point is scored, the green score display at chest level blinks.

Binary ring

binary ringThis is the sweetest binary gadget I’ve ever seen, the binary wedding ring.

On the Binary rings, there are 5 parallel tracks running around the ring, each track representing a digit in the binary lexicon. The track is engraved for 1 and left blank for 0. In this way, the five lines of engraving which progress around the ring spell out, in combination, your personalized message.

The message on the ring above reads “A Marriage of Values”. Your message may contain up to 20 characters. Cast in either recycled gold or recycled platinum.

You can get your binary ring from greenKarat or $1750 for the platinum version.
