Q&A: How Do I Read Your Binary Clock?

** BUY THE CLOCK HERE: http://thinkgeek.twi.bz/a

In this video, I answer a question from @techhelper1 (http://twitter.com/techhelper1) who utilized the #bwanatvqa hashtag on Twitter. He asks "@Bwana how do you tell time on the binary clock?" Thanks for the question! First view this graphic which will greatly aid in understanding how it works: http://twitpic.com/26p8x . Now, you just need to remember 1,2,4,8. Remember those 4 digits as they are key to reading my binary clock. Each digit of the time xx:yy:zz, is represented by a vertical column of lights which represent the numbers 1,2,4,8. If the light is illuminated, then you count that number in addition. It's a matter of reading which lights are on, associating them with a number and adding them up. The video demonstrates the current time. Thanks for the question techhelper1!
