Its a clock

I was in a conversation earlier this evening about the string of numbers
that are displayed in union square (see photo) and I explained that they
were actually telling the time. He was a tad doubtful given the lengthy
and obviously consfusing set of numbers that are displayed. As you can
see in the photo, the first bunch of numbers represent the time (in
military hours, fyi) that it is currently and the latter half represnets
the time until the next time midnight occurs.

In this case, the clock reads:
0201.... Which means that it is is 2:01 am and the latter half reads:
..5821 which means that there are 21 hours and 58 minutes until the next
midnight

The numbers in between move much more quickly and represent the tenths,
hundredths, etc seperating these two times.

Come check out union square and see for yourself.

Alternative occupation?

If only I had done better in woodshop, I could have had a different type
of job.

Urban Ninja -- bad ass stuff from You Tube

Turn nozzle up to dry hair

Is it just me or does this seem like an odd message to be on a hand
dryer?
