frozen, originally uploaded by tara.aukerman.

It’s frozen here in Indiana. It’s so cold that even the snow is dry little ice pellets.

My least favorite thing in the world is cold, and one of my favorite things is my camera. Combine the two and you get a not so horrible outside experience - at least for five minutes. =)

This is our little backyard fountain’s pond. It’s the last thing to freeze in winter, and when it goes, it’s a sad, sad day for me.

So, cousin Tim bought me a clock that displays a binary representation of time.  It was a great gift - cracked me up, and has been pretty fun.  I brought it into work after Christmas and have had to explain to just about everyone in the entire office what it is and how it works. 

Behold:

It’s 09:40:54.  (yay, cameraphone!) 

Enter a coworker who is well-traveled and computer smart.  He picks up the clock and says, seriously, “Wow!  A braille clock!”

I cracked up - yeah, all blind people use dots of light to tell time.  They can see tthose much better than the LED numbers on a digital clock.
