Brilliant!

In my work as an engineer, I come across a lot of cool stuff. I scan the gadget blogs and slashdot, and ever now and then come across something that is...just...so...cool. The kind of thing that you look at for a moment, then realize the brilliance, and take your hat off (figuratively) to the inventor. Unlike idiotic patents for things like swinging on a swing, a peanut and butter sandwich, or the murky realm of business method patents, these kinds of finds truly deserve a patent and all that comes with it.

Case in point:


To compensate for daylight savings time, just tip the clock, which moves the 12 o'clock position by one hour forward or back.
