I tried to implement an idea I’ve hard for a while where you get notified of the daylight gained each day so you can appreciate the days getting longer. I used a sunset/sunrise API along with built-in javascript location and notification services. I think it mostly works

I spent most of my time on this and I got lazy with my second timekeeping sketch. I forked a skeuomorphic clock and added a cat to the second hand. It was interesting to see how different code pens implemented clock hand movement in code.

The only non-computer clock I have access to is a microwave. Not a ton to say about it. To set the time

  1. Press dedicated ‘time’ button. Numbers flash
  2. Enter the time via the number pad (12 hour time)
  3. Press confirm/start

I usually set it 1-2 minutes late so I trick myself to being on-time to things.
