So, on Atheist-kids-get-presents-day Eve, I got an e-mail from someone named Jason von Nieda saying that he really loved the design I had for my vacuum tube clock, and that he used it as inspiration to machine a similar enclosure of his own. He included pictures of the finished device. I know a bit about obsessing over things you think are cool and working your ass off to imitate them, so I can sympathize. And the end result is really great. (The inner workings are as nice as the enclosure, too.)<\/em><\/p>\n

I have to admit that, while really flattered that someone would like my design so much, I’m also kinda embarrassed and more than a little pissed at myself for having spent all this time struggling to make even one. Especially given how much attention it seems to be getting… (Of course, I already had some idea about that, since everyone I showed the design to thought it was incredibly cool.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Now, don’t get me wrong, internet. It’s all good, so put all your sharp-pointy things away. Jason was very up-front on the matter and made sure I was cool with him using the design, and he did a smashing good job of making it, too! (Especially considering he was working from a single rendering I had posted.)<\/em> It’s still just a bit shocking to say the least. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Anyway, here’s the original conceptual rendering<\/a> I did.<\/p>\n

Here’s the flickr photoset<\/a> he posted of the finished clock and various prototype PCBs.<\/p>\n

Here’s the post on his blog about it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s the post about it on Hack-A-Day<\/a> with an insanely great post title.<\/p>\n

Here’s the source of the Hack-A-Day post, an article on MAKE<\/a>.<\/p>\n
