			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know the Daleks? Those pesky cybernetic lifeforms from <em>Doctor Who</em>, which are supposed to be the epitome of living and cybernetic organisms? Well, apparently if you had written to the BBC in the 1970s or 1980s asking them information about how to build your own, they would have sent you these plans.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-39977" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/092410_rg_DalekPlans_01.jpg" alt="092410 rg DalekPlans 01" width="600" height="800" title="092410 rg DalekPlans 01 photo" /></p>
<p>My only question is, would they have worked? Probably not, still it&#8217;s a great marketing ploy. I can already imagine kids everywhere trying to make their own Daleks to take over the world.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4032   aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/pongwatch1.jpg" alt="pongwatch1" width="520" height="297" title="pongwatch1 photo" /></p>
<p>The idea is inspired by <a href="http://www.burovormkrijgers.nl/index1.html">Buro Vormkrijgers</a> and his Pong Clock. You can&#8217;t control the game, but rather it&#8217;s a Pong game in which every minute the right side scores a point, and each hour the left side scores a point. The effect is that the score of the game is the time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4033   aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/pongwatch2.jpg" alt="pongwatch2" width="520" height="347" title="pongwatch2 photo" /></p>
<p><a href="http://maushammer.com/systems/Watch/Introduction.html">John Maushammer</a> has spent a fair amount of time and energy on this, and has thoughfully shared not only a <a href="http://maushammer.com/systems/Watch/Build_Log/Build_Log.html">build log</a>, but also, the <a href="http://maushammer.com/systems/Watch/Plans.html">technical plans</a> and a whole <a href="http://maushammer.com/systems/Watch/Movies.html">series of movies</a> showing the progress. Check out this nifty demo video to take a closer look at the watch.</p>
