Wozniak’s Nixie Watch
Most impressive… Steve Wozniak, Apple’s co-founder and an impressive engineer, has made himself a functional and practical Nixie-tube watch. I don’t know why I have such a hard-on for Nixie’s, but it’s certainly more impressive than the steampunk toiletthat came across my desk recently. Seriously, some of you steampunk’ers have too much in common with pot-heads; instead of trying to make a bong out of everything, you try to make everything into a vacuum-tube, like this Model 420 Pneumatiform Infumationizer.
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak shows us that a nixie tube watch is probably a better idea in theory than it is in practice. It’s so bulky. Sure looks like a lot of trouble he has to go through just to change the time zone. Never mind that, if they could just make these things a whole lot smaller, we’d really be lusting after one.
