Pong! time to wake up

This retro, open source, buzz word friendly clock is pretty wicked. Monochron, by adafruit industries, is crafty adaptation of Pong for use as a clock in which the computer plays against itself and “loses” to change the time. This is creative way to keep computers/robots busy; otherwise they’ll take over the world.

They say it takes about 2 to 3 hours to make, with a cursory knowledge of soldering and some hand tools. They sell all the stuff for this and other cool projects on their site. If you’re looking to get into basic circuitry, this could be a good place for you to start.
