Next time you struggle to design a Nixie-clock, or any other clock for that matter, it might be good to know how scientists look at a clock......

Just read this and found it fascinating!

I especially like this part:

"The first thing to note is that pretty much everything is a clock. Garbage announces the days with its worsening smell. Wrinkles mark the years. “You could tell time by measuring how cold your coffee has gotten on your coffee table,” said Huber, who is now at the Technical University of Vienna and the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information Vienna."

In our house, a clock is the only way to show-off nixie tubes in a way that everyone will understand. A frequency-counter or voltmeter just gets some curious looks.
