ThinkGeek Week: A Clock Of Epoch

// February 25th, 2010 // Electronics, Gadgets, Information, Reviews, Tech, TechKnowledgey

For the third product sent to me by ThinkGeek it’s an Epoch clock! A clock that displays the time in just about every format known to man. It specializes though, in the fact that it also tells time in Epoch, or Unix time, which is something we tech geeks invented.

And then of course, ThinkGeek invented their own Epoch Clock to go along with it. It not only tells time, obvioucly, in Epoch, but in many other formats as well. It’s also got an alarm built in, with a nice speaker. Multiple settings from everything to brightness and display options, to alarm settings and so on. It’s also got a USB port on the back so you can plug anything that gets power via USB into it (Plasma Ball anyone?) So sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode of TechKnowledgey all about time, and why it can be so cool.
