Make Your Own Open Source Retro Arcade-Style Clock
ptorrone writes "Hardware hacker 'Ladyada' has released an open source, retro, arcade-style, table-tennis-for-two clock called the MONOCHRON. According to the MONCHRON project page the desire was 'to make a clock that was ultra-hackable, from adding a separate battery-backed RTC to designing the enclosure so you could program the clock once its assembled.' It includes an ATmega328 processor (with Arduino stk500 bootloader for easy hacking. It's completely open source hardware: all firmware, layout, and CAD files are yours to mess with."
When will it get an app store?
I think that the right side is a better player.
But I must argue that the handicap given to the left side (reset score to 0, after 23) is a tad unfair.
I've had a Dashboard widget that does exactly this.

Who says he wasn't at lan parties? Or that the "parties" he mentions weren't him and some other neckbeards playing D&D?
And who says just because you're a geek you don't know how to binge drink, score good drugs and hit on chicks?
One end of the bell curve, of course, but we exist.
Linux, you magnificent bastard, I read the fucking manual!
poor left side, he gets schooled mercilessly!

Turning off the televisions at a sports bar? If you actively desire to piss people off, you could spit in their food without having to build anything.
As long as the TV was on, they wouldn't even notice. I saw one drunk refill another drunk's beer stein "under the table" and the drinker didn't notice till the second gulp.
Sig Battery depleted. Reverting to safe mode.
>>>Parties? Please surrender your Geek card....
While I was visiting my classmate's dorm room, to borrow her Quantum Chemistry book and notes, her roommate walked in wearing nothing but a towel and water dripping from her long hair. I said, "Excuse me I'll leave," and she said "No need" and then dropped her towel. It was the first woman I'd ever seen nude, and I admit I enjoyed it.
Your honor: Since I was still holding a Chemistry book, I argue I should still be allowed to keep my geek card.
