Anybody who knows me and my hobbies knows I love to make interesting clocks - I feel like they are the perfect canvas to try out new things and get creative, as everyone fundamentally understands what a clock is supposed to do.  Because the basic idea is constrained, it lets me be creative with the implementation without having to also explain what the thing actually *does*.  So here's a new clock I built - it's Neopixel-based and run off of an Arduino.  The outer ring is hours, and the inner ring is minutes (in 10 minute intervals).  The center pixel is an AM/PM indicator.  I used ping-ping balls for the diffusers - it turns out that they work great for Neopixels! They remind me of bubbles, which is why I call this my "bubble clock". The colors are really washed out in this photo, but I think that's just because the Neopixels are so bright.  In person it is very vibrant and colorful.
