Haroon Baig has taken the Twitter obsession a step further by turning it into this concept cuckoo clock which utilizes Chumby guts to constantly check for new status updates or search results from the Twitter API. When new tweets are displayed, the Twitter mascot will pop out of the clock and alert you with a cuckoo sound. Check out a video of the clock in action after the break.
As you can see, the important work on this word search clock has already been done for you. However, there are other words mixed into the puzzle that have yet to be uncovered. It’s the perfect diversion while you stare at the clock waiting for quittin’ time.

Hell yeah! There’s finally a clock that comes unassembled so you can work your diode, capacitor and resistor installing magic and end up with a clock that tells time, provides the date and plays an eternal game of Pong for your boredom inducing pleasure (check out the video on the product page). This is actually a takeoff of an earlier Pong clock made by Sander Mulder back in 2005, but you didn’t get the opportunity to put it together yourself. If you’re ready to take on this challenge, then you’ll understand me when I say “Don’t forget to tin your soldering iron, and make sure you use flux”… Nerd out.
