Spin time

By Peter Rojas

Developed by a pair of researchers at Media Lab Europe, "Spin" is a set of keychains with LEDs that you spin around in a circle (get it?) to display the time using the same scientific principles as those "floating time" clocks which are a staple of SkyMall catalogs everywhere (Nokia's 3220
cameraphone has a similar optional feature, believe it or not). Way less handy than just checking the time on your watch or cellphone, but it'd be perfect for heckling people, which is why they need to trick this thing out so you can set your own customizable messages ASAP.
