TaskWatch - Whiteboard with a clock

Taskwatch 01
I really like this idea, a dry-erase board (with a clock) but @ $180+ USD is a little pricey, you could easily make your own whiteboard and add a clock on the cheap... [via] - Link.

That clock would be alot cooler if they had the clock hands hold the dry erase markers. In fact, I think I might just make one for myself.

The clock is right in the middle of the whiteboard. Seem like it should be off to the side, instead of smack in the center.

I think the clock is in the center so you can make notations all around it for things that are supposed to happen at specific times.

I wonder if it comes with a bunch of spare hands for the clock. It would only take a little carelessness with the eraser to wipe out the clock hands as well as the ink on the board.

MR -

That makes sense. Not sure that somebody would want to write out their daily task-list every day. And the analog white-board nature of this makes it somewhat difficult to "time-shift" your to-do list if you get delayed by an annoying coworker, etc.

I guess to me, it's a solution looking for a problem.
