What makes this a good read is that it shows you how to create a binary clock on the commandline. How useful is that? Not useful at all if you ask me, but if you can learn how to read it then your Geek IQ went up about 2 points. Put that binary clock on a large screen in the living room for when people come over and bam you have nailed the Geek of the Neighborhood title.
