it's a fun hobby project and thanks for documenting it!

but it's a pre-bought circular screen, raspberry pi and a browser... i could use it to ask google the time, the clock is just a formality.

As we all know it didn't used to be like this! Really hope that a side-effect of the RAMpocalypse is a return to sanity in regards to memory usage.

I would have done this in either Processing, or if it was connecting to something running Plan9 I’d do raw draw commands.
