What time is it during the recording of this video? According to the time we set it, it was 11:02pm according to my Tix clocks. However, according to my Epoch Clock it’s 11:03! At the moment, I had it showing roman numerals. I then changed it to hexidecimal, and then octal! How completely awesome is this?!

Want to show the rest of the world that your brain is a cut above the rest? Well, with the ThinkGeek Epoch Clock, you are able to impress geeks with your ability to read binary numbering systems in a flash, while the rest of the room try to figure out just what is that strange looking device trying to say.

It can sit on your desk or nightstand, and even has a USB port that you can use to charge other gadgets. It powers via a power cord. However, there are batteries in there in case you lose electricity, or have to unplug it.

This is likely the Geekiest clock in the World. I have always thought the Tix clocks were Geeky… but the Epoch Clock takes the cake! Come on… you gotta love this.

According to a viewer (Tony), there is a Roman Numeral for zero:

About a question you posed: in Roman Numerals, zero is written with a letter ‘N.’ This is because it comes from the word “Nulla.” In Britain, up until a few years ago, most people were taught basic Latin phrases in lessons – as our language stems from it. I don’t know how it works in America, but in Britain you can still buy analogue clocks that in place of the “1 2 3 4 5 6″ have “I II III IV V VI.” I have one on my wall – I never thought that it would be such a big deal. It actually comes natural to me. But, I suppose in America, it would be hard to get hold of such a clock.

Not really. Plus, we love anything that has a USB cable attached to it… :)
