An Umbrella That Can Tell Time from the Sun

This Clock Parasol is a clever idea! It uses the sun’s position in the sky to tell time (it works by orienting yourself with the parasol’s included compass). But, however clever, it doesn’t change the fact that only weirdos use an umbrella for the sun. [691236 via Neatorama]
