Way to go Craig!

While skimming the local weekly news zine Willamette Week just now, a friends name popped out at me. My friend Craig was mentioned there for one of his sites, humanclock.com, which was named as one of Time Magazine's "50 Coolest Websites" 2006. Way to go man!

Craig started Human Clock years ago when he and I worked together. He would carry this folding piece of cardboard and several sheets of 8.5" x 11" paper with hand-written digits on them everywhere he went. Armed with the clock elements, some tape, and his digital camera, he would wander around Portland photographing himself, his friends, or any random stranger willing, holding the cardboard 'clock' up. Since those humble beginnings he's received submissions from all over the world and the site has turned into quite the phenomenon.

I'm in it somewhere, I think, but so are thousands and thousands of others. It's an excellent site, and a great 'time suck' since you find yourself sitting there eagerly waiting for the next minute to pass to see the next photo. Enjoy!
