"Time is nature's way to keep everything from happening all at once." Be thankful that time continues to move (albeit in a circular manner). Were time ever to stop moving forward, everything would collapse to zero length and move at the speed of light.
I just burned an hour looking at the various Arduino clock implementations. I smell yet another "fun" project coming.

Remember the watches with little bubble magnifiers for the scrolling 31 position day indicator?
We had to set those forward a day on 30 day months and for February by hand too. Then they eventually had some that "know" what month it is and do it themselves.
