Clock Made Entirely Out of Scrollbars

scrollbar-clock

We’ve seen some pretty wacky and creative clocks in our day. We’ve seen clocks made strictly out of live-human body parts. We’ve seen clocks only solvable by mathematicians. But this clock strikes a chord with us geeks, utilizing one of the most prolific parts of the web browser, the scrollbar.

The coolest part is that you can actually move the scrollbar as the time ticks away.

Check out Twitter’s new digs in the SoMa district of San Francisco. Not too shabby. Mostly designed by co-founder Ev Williams and his wife Sara, Twitter’s new headquarters is focused on minimalism, modernism and an odd fascination with deer.

These photos and many more were lovingly uploaded at the official Twitter photostream on Flickr. Head over there to see the complete set.

Obama is a Twitter Fraud

obama-twitter

I am shocked… SHOCKED about the recent revelation that Obama has not authored any of his 418 tweets posted to his Twitter account, @BarackObama. Doesn’t he have a free second between ruling the free world and meeting with world leaders to fill us in about… oh I don’t know… what he’s eating for lunch, maybe?

While in China, Obama was quoted as saying “I have never used Twitter but I’m an advocate of technology and not restricting internet access.” Right, right, net neutrality, blah blah. But you’ve NEVER USED TWITTER?! And I voted for this guy?

McDonald’s Now Offering Free Wi-Fri

Free Wi-Fi is great and all, but it’s sort of expected these days, especially from big chains. I want to know what else they can offer me.

Did you know that McDonald’s isn’t only offering free Wi-Fi, but they’re also going to provide the new and exclusive Wi-Fri service. More fries in more places! This genius ad spot is sure to turn some hungry heads.

Snuggies + Twilight = Facebook Fail-bait

twisnug

Alright, I can totally get the whole Snuggie thing. As embarrassed as I am to admit it, I not only own one, but I use it regularly and love the hell out of it. But, dude, Twilight, for real?

We’ve already seen what it would take to make Twilight interesting, and it ain’t pretty.

Nintendo Ponders Releasing 3G Kindle-esque DS

kindle

Nintendo’s president Satoru Iwata says that the company is debating whether or not a future model of the DS will take a book from Amazon’s book marketplace device, the Kindle, and offer digital downloads over the mobile 3G network.

With this business model, Nintedo DS users wouldn’t be required to pay a monthly fee for 3G access, but would pay an overhead price included in the retail pricing, basically providing the user with a one-time fee for lifetime access to the network. Providing 3G downloads would allow users to download DLC on-the-go. If much of your town or city is still Wifi-less, you might want to consider petitioning for this idea. Though these days, most major cities are Wifi’d from border to border.

Twitter “Follow Me” Tattoo Socks

It’s understandable that some of you are hesitant to get something as permanent as a tattoo. Especially with a fad site like Twitter. Who knows how long the novelty will last? A massive “follow me” tattoo isn’t for everyone.

These “Follow Me” Tattoo Socks give you that temporary ink look, just in case you’re not ready to take the leap into permanence. If you love showing off a little leg, this is a great way to gain some new follwers, and perhaps a stalker to two.
