    But how do you get it so it's always pointing in the correct direction?

    Well, uh, see, the needle is magnetized and floats, so it will be automatically pulled in the direction of the nearest magnetic pole and

    I really feel like your school system may have failed you here.

    I'm hoping that's why the second hand spans the entire length and someone just didn't think really well about the render.

    One's the second hand and one's the compass needle.

    I hope!

    I think it's just a plain ole watch with a fun/different face. But it would be cool if there was a working compass piece within it!

    I want a purely mechanical watch design that identifies longitude so you can account for time-zone shifts.

    No, I haven't thought through how that would work and also be small enough to fit on your wrist. Shut up.

    What's the point of wearing a watch if it is not small and blue and cute?

    If it wasn't for the smartphone, I'd say that picture was taken in the 70s. Missing that incredible handlebar mustache, though.

    Totally getting a Mr. Kotter vibe from that photo.

    And with Zonugal doing substitute teaching...

    Sort-of fashion story time:

    Growing up, my mom had a "rag drawer" that was mostly filled with old t-shirts that she used to clean up messes and whatnot instead of paper towels. One of those rags was an old t-shirt with glossy image on the front of a cartoon 70s-looking bunch of people that made no sense to me. That shirt made no sense until, that is, Nick and Night started showing Welcome Back Kotter reruns when I was in high school. Then I knew what the "Sweathogs" were and very much wanted to find that t-shirt again. Sadly, it was missing from the rag drawer, no matter how hard I looked for it.

    At first I was like "how small can we make a GPS..." and then I reread your emphasis and went, "oh".

    I don't own a watch because I don't know how to buy a watch (and also I am extremely picky with aesthetics)

    But I have an enduring fondness for Projects Watches, which all tend to have a sort of weird non-standard functionality

    oh shit yeah, I love those guys.

    I have an inordinate fondness for watches that are unnecessarily hard to read, but look cool.
    My current watch is actually kind of perfect that way, but it's mostly a pedometer so I chiefly wear it on my ankle, which defeats some of the purpose.

    My ankle is extremely punctual, though.

    An analog watch doubling as a compass is redundant. It is very easy to tell which way is north using a normal analog watch and the sun.

    http://www.wikihow.com/Use-an-Analog-Watch-as-a-Compass

    Daylight savings time can fuck with you a little though, yet another reason it should burn.



    Knowing this information has yet to help in romantic endeavors, but I remain hopeful.

    sure, that's why you wear a movement tracker on your ankle

    So my folks went to an 80's-themed kegger this past Sunday and part of my dad's outfit was a sweet pleather jacket from the late 70's.

    He gave it to me today.

    And it feels so cool.

    I am drawn to adventure in it.

    Update! It's actual authentic leather!

    I honestly cannot tell if she's on stilts, if my eyes just can't nail her proportions down correctly, or if there's a second person inside there controlling the legs. It is breaking my poor, addled mind.

    Second gown appeared in the cosplay of nations, I'm sure of it.

    A DIY mohawk being a little rough around the edges just makes it more authentic.

    SO I decided to try out nail powder for the first time! Nail powder can get you some freakin' amazing effects, like the most metallic chrome that you can't match with polish alone. Chrome powder shows every imperfection and gets everywhere, but I'm really loving the effect! (kindly ignore my glittery palm)
