Clocks

I play around a lot with ideas for clocks, especially ones that don't necessarily show exactly what the time is. Here are some:

A clock that displays only the year, inspired by the Clock of the Long Now. If you can't see it (e.g. you're running Internet Explorer), here is an image of what it looks like. Written in SVG and JavaScript; here is the source code.

The orange bar is hours, the blue is minutes within the current hour. It is supposed to display the text of the coming hour, but does so only in a few browsers that support text within a canvas tag. If you can't see it, here's an image. Written in JavaScript using the HTML5 CANVAS tag; here is the source code.

The globe centered on me (of course... ha ha), showing sunshine. Doesn't calculate real sunrise and sunset, but just divides the globe evenly. It functions as a clock, but only about as well as looking out the window. If you can't see it, here is an image. Written in JavaScript using the HTML5 CANVAS tag; here is the source code.

No

JavaScript

This one shows the current and coming hours, with the size of the current hour inversely proportional to how far into the hour we are, and the coming hour directly proportional. Written in JavaScript; here is the source code.
