1. Cut a hole in a box

2. Put a clock in your box

3. Shine some lights in your box

and that's the way you do it

@Nick: Sun dial for the day, bulbdial for night -- you have all the hours covered. Well, except those folks in Seattle that have nine months out of the year when the sun dial is absolutely worthless. Oh, and when a squirrel gets in the transformer to follow Kurt Cobain and knocks out power for your grid for hours in the evening. Or .. Well, ignoring all the exceptions, it is a perfect concept.

@OMG! Ponies!: Do you really need a time piece to dictate your acid intake? Personally, my kids are my best barometer, because if they are bothering me then clearly I need to visit the shoe box under the bed again.

As long as they are more reliable than LED xmas lights. I'm guessing if one goes out, that messes up the entire clock.

@A Snake a Snake... OH it's a Snake!: You have had bad luck with LED Christmas lights? While it is a bit early for Christmas light chatter, I would be interested in hearing the problems you found since that is the direction the light market is going.

It is as if a truck carrying paint for a gay pride parade slammed into a giant sundial -- the result is awe inspiring, beautiful, and brings an element of good fashion sense to a modern time piece.

@Xeno wishes there was a preview button: "...like a buss slamming into the gay pride parade..."

And the simply-fabulous aftermath of said collision:
