Nice stuff. As mentioned at the bottom it is based off a production version by Biergert & Funk (http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/biergert-and-funk-qlocktw...) But it is worth noting that an instructable on how to make a lower cost version can also be found here :http://www.instructables.com/id/A-Word-Clock/
Interesting. The idea looks similar to Art. Lebedev's Verbarius clock, but more low-tech and more pricey.

I wonder if Biergert & Funk heard of Verbarius. Seems like Art. Lebedev was first with the idea?

The code is beautiful: very efficient and understandable. Nice share!
Heh, a while ago I saw something similar done in Flash:

Very slick. Time-telling devices are always interesting.

None of the above!
The only thing remotely html5-ey about it is the use of <!doctype html>, which sane people have been using for years. I don't think he's using any features less than a decade old!

Just kidding, love the hack, especially the font-face!

This would be amazing if it weren't for the theme switcher and text at the bottom.
You didn't light up the "A": "IT IS [A] QUARTER TO EIGHT".
"IT IS QUARTER TO EIGHT" is perfectly cromulent: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22it%20is%20quarter%20to%22
Though i agree, "IT IS QUARTER TO EIGHT" is perfectly cromulent. But thats not a justified explanation. Reason:
5,450,000 results for "it is a quarter to" against 226,000 for "IT IS QUARTER TO EIGHT"!!! :)
Yes. If we went that way, then apostrophe-s would denote a plural! (It's probably inevitable, anyhow!)
