Here are a couple of things you can use to visualize the passage of time:
- Polar Clock - This is a nifty flash app that will remind you about the cyclical nature of hours, minutes, seconds, weeks and so on. If they had used different colors, it might look like something out of Yellow Submarine
- Xplanet - I use this to set my desktop at work to a satellite image of the Earth, centered above my exact latitude and longitude. Every minute, it updates the image with a representation of which half of the globe is currently experiencing “daytime” and which is covered by darkness. Over the last few weeks of crunching to get the latest project out the door, it’s been both highly motivating and slightly depressing to watch the gradual approach of night as I struggle to finish up and get my ass out the door before it overtakes me.
