This probably pleases me more than it should, but what can I say? I have a soft spot for gadgets that think like I do. The Muller and van Dongen Word Clock is a simple bar that eschews traditional digital or analog conventions by telling time entirely through text. Instead of “12:00” you’d get “Noon,” or instead of “3:32” you’d get “about half-past three.” It’s a pleasing way to take out the intermediate step between the cold, hard numbers and the way most of us actually perceive time.
And as one of FunFurde’s commenters points out, Mac OSX users can add a similar function to their menu bar using “FuzzyClock.”
