Human Clock

The Atari Web Server he's using is one of my favorite pages on the internet. https://humanclock.com/atariserver.php

For real, I traded Atari games with Craig, the author of this site, in the late 1990's. He is an amazing dude. He also rode his bike around Australia and did a website about it: https://lunky.com/.

Reminds me of the brilliant The Clock (2010 film)

> a 24-hour video supercut (montage of scenes from film and television) that feature clocks or timepieces.

It's played synchronized with the actual time of day. I got to see it in a museum in London. It was awesome.

This is hilarious, by the same person: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-peZ7IeD2w&feature=youtu.be

I'm reminded of a video installation somewhere of a clock where ever minute a guy repaints the minute line, but I don't remember where or what it was...does this ring a bell with anyone?

Reminds me of the pointerpointer.com

The author seems to be soliciting artwork submissions for a "Pobox clock" as well so perhaps we could use this opportunity to help out!

Another fun project by the same person. https://deee-lights.com/

This reminds me of Pharrell Williams' 24 Hours of Happy [1] which was a website that you could visit and it would show a music video timed to that minute. On the hour, ever hour, there would be a special music video with the Pharrell instead.

The song was a real earworm and I'm sure people got sick of it but I really loved that website. Even though the song became a bit too much at times, it was a brilliant thing to watch.

[1]: The website is down now but the videos are all here on his Youtube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKPi39tTpkdpjBVQZo5oF...

Cool, a web toy like they used to make 'em, back when the web was fun and the possibilities seemed endless.

Woah. I open it up at 08:44 and the picture is from less than fifty miles away from me. Small world. (I live in Maine.)

Thanks for posting. In the early 2000's me, my brothers, and my dad spent several months taking pictures and submitting each sequential minute between 8-9. Looking back probably 20 years later now it is quite amusing to still see the pictures there! It has been a long time since I heard about the human clock.

I want an API to this so I can use it for desktop background images.

This is the brother of a former housemate of mine, from almost 20 years ago. I emailed him back then to tell him I saw the site and thought it was cool. He told me I should check out his other site: humancock.com.

When I clicked that, the page loaded and read something like, "Shame on you!"

Wise guy, that guy ;-)

Fantastic and quite fun! This has been around for quite a while. I remember being obsessed with contributing to the Human Clock back in the day. I might go and search for my contributions over the holidays.

Also by the author https://humancalendar.com/ (very interesting)

I happen to click at exactly 4:50 and it was a photo of the cover of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 450. Well played.

I love it. Back then when internet used to be weird and fun, and not all about profit or fame...

Nice, but not perfect, at 6:05am I was shown an image of 16:05, so it was off by 10 hours.

Wow it took me a bit to figure out what was happening. How neat

We need this, but with livestreamed cameras found on Shodan.
