Desk Clock Plays Life, Counts Yours One Second at a Time

I like this Life Clock. What makes it for me is not the fact that you can do it yourself using Arduino components–the open-source electronics prototyping platform–or that it can tell you the temperature and play Conway’s life on its own. No, what makes it all come together is the simple wood design and the use of 60s sci-fi spaceship computer lights. [Make]
