[RE-wrenches] Slow clocks

[Dan Fink]

It's not exactly a difficult problem to solve, as $9.95 Walmart 2xAA 
battery circular clocks with the hands things that turn in circles run 
for a year on a set, and LCD travel alarms for far longer. The popular 
ones now have a DC wall wart to power them and you just stick your iPod 
or iPhone in the cradle.

I can certainly relate to collecting fun antiques, but that's basically 
what clocks that tell time by your 60 hz grid cycles are. So much easier 
to drop your iPhone in the cradle, it'll sync with the internet time 
server, and you are all set.

Except new years morning last year. Oh, and the time change bug.

OK, I see your point!
