Trend of the Day -- Digital Clock Edition
I think I just invented something transcendent, but I can't *really* tell because it's late, and well -- I don't really have a good feel for these things anyway. Indulge me:
Yesterday I was rewiring some outlets and I turned off some breakers at 11:30 AM or so. I finished up around noon, flipped the breakers on, and did my testing. There is one digital clock sitting next to my bed and because of the outage it was reset. But now it is, amazingly set correctly (remember -- on around noon).
This clock gives me a strange happy feeling. I look at and :
- Initially react, knowing that I can't trust it
- Quickly remember that it is correct
- Have a sense of pride knowing that I am the only one who will look at that clock and be able to believe it.
It's almost like being in on a B.S. story your friend tells while everyone else gets slowly reeled in. The air of superiority is alluring.
Anyway, I think this may be a new trend. People everywhere could not only have accurate digital clocks, but could have accurate *blinking* digital clocks that aid in their personal chronological sanctimony. In fact, I'll go as far as declaring 'chronological sanctimony' the new black. I'll be up at midnight tonight, just unplugging and replugging the rest of our digital clocks.
Join me my friends and we will start a revolution. <christopher-lloyd>A REVOLUTION IN TIME</christopher-lloyd>
