Disk Clock

Ever gotten the minute and hour hands confused? Wondered whether it was AM or PM? Found digital clocks a little too abstract?. The Disk Clock moves multiple disks in what would be the clock face.

Each disk has it's own distinct appearance. There is only one hand. You know where you are - time flows past, with the future and the past uniformly to the right and left. Hours, moons, and years rotate smoothly through their appointed cycles, conveying multiple layers of information. Color denotes season, day of week, hours of daylight, or simply identifies the quarters of more abstract measures.
What's new in this version:
If only slow disks were shown, the clock might never update under normal dashboard use (brief views). Leaving the mouse over the info box could continuously trigger mouseover events.
