Pong Watch: A Smaller, Geekier Pong Clock

Remember that semi-cool Pong Clock? Sure you do, we only posted about it on a daily basis over the summer.

It is still in the prototype phases—Maushammer is still working out the kinks with power management, but hopefully it will be available for sale, someday.
