"Standard Time" is the work of artist Mark Formanek, who filmed the whole thing as a documentary. I'm sure there's some deeper point about the indefatigable march of time and mankind's role in a digital age, but I mostly like it for the time-lapse footage.

Honestly, I don't even know why this caught my attention, but somehow curiosity had me refreshing the site every few minutes just so see what happens. Will that girl strip? Will the next minute bring a different lady? Is she going to...do something with that stick?

Yes, you can certainly check the time by glancing at your system clock, but this is somehow so much more fun, especially since it'll be quite a while before you've seen all 1440 images. Unless you sit there refreshing the page for 24 hours straight, that is. [AV-Tokei via Asiajin]

The Big Binary Clock project displays the time using 18 round windows, with the green LEDs representing the hours, the blue representing the minutes, and the red the seconds. The time can be set remotely via Bluetooth, and an NXP ARM7 processor keeps it ticking over nicely. Certainly beats the usual "projects" students "erect" in US colleges.

The fact that the most recent versions are really the youngest aside, is it wrong that I think the wrinkly-pixels make the older Mario look kinda sexy? [Etsy via Technabob]

There aren't any notes on how long it would take to wear out a vase on average, but the entire idea is to have different chime sounds due to switching the flower pots so it can't be too long. I just hope Gerogios never decides to make an alarm clock like this, because just imagining the porcelain shards near a bed makes my feet hurt. [Yanko Design via The Design Blog]

Technically, the moment to hop back in time is whenever 2 a.m. strikes in your time zone (or sometime last week if you're in Europe), but if you're getting ready to snuggle up in bed then you might want to take care of the clocks first.

Now let's be open and honest with each other. What are you doing with your extra hour? Will it be spent spooning, snuggled up with a loved one? Getting a head start on the next month? Recovering from chocolate overdose? Reading through Gizmodo comments? [Thanks for the DST reminder, Jrsy Devil's Advocate®!]

The instructables version may not be as glossy, or as polished, or as big as the real version, but it works on the same principles. Head on over to test out your self-making skills. [Instructables via Make]

Apparently built by some Polish tinkerer, this clock uses LEDs and the hard disk's natural reflectiveness to create these crazy patterns and colors. It's remote controlled too, in case you need to switch to a different eye-piercing background color. It doesn't seem to be available for purchase, but let's be honest—would you really put display this in your house? If you answered yes, take the lights out of your mouth and go back to Burning Man.

Sony's ICF-CL75iP alarm clock has a 7-inch WVGA screen, 1GB of internal storage (and a USB port for more), a retractable iPod dock and an FM radio. It seems kind of excessive to have an extra screen when an iPod or iPhone is sitting right there, but as it plays video too (MP4, Motion JPEG and AVI), maybe you'd like to wake up to a video instead. It's available for pre-order now from SonyStyle Canada for $200 CAD (about $180 USD at the moment), shipping October 1st. [Sony Insider via Engadget]

This router is essentially a twenty-four hour clock divided into half hourly segments. As a reaction to the broadband signal, a different traffic light color indicates bandwidth strength at each interval.

It is, in design, an object of reflection – helping the user to manage their time online more efficiently, understanding and making the most of bandwidth strength in the local area throughout the day.

It appears to be a concept at the moment, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up becoming an actual product. [Future Routers via The Awesomer]

Like any other alarm clock with dock—compatible with iPod touch 2nd generation, iPod nano 1st to 4th generation, iPod touch, iPod classic, iPod with video and iPod 4th generation—the iLuv iMM153 has built-in speakers and FM radio. Unlike other alarm clocks, however, the iMM153 comes with a small unit that will vibrate to wake you up. At $59.99, it doesn't look bad, but I will need to daisy-chain a few of those if I really want them to wake me up. [iLuv]

In the morning, you can then transfer the findings into your PC, then upload the results to Zeo online, which will then give you a diagnostic of how well you sleep at night, and suggestions of what you can do to improve that sleep. Or I can just tell you why you can't sleep at night—it's either because of the never ending abundance of porn, or that uncomfortable headband, pressing down on your forehead, strangling your brain and messing up your hair.

It's got an auxiliary jack for other audio inputs, a nice little OLED screen to display the time and track information, and of course comes with a nice enough remote control. But $550 seems like a sort of outrageous price for such pedestrian technology, fancy package or not. It'll be available soon, if you're a gazillionaire who likes shiny things. [Oh Gizmo!]
