Welcome to the Morning Buzz, a catch-up on interesting happenings around the city and country and a quick guide to what (and who) to keep your eyes on. We’ll be here, first thing every weekday, to get you going. Here’s what’s buzzing this morning: Your day just got a little more colorful, thanks to Jack Hughes. The London-based designer describes his latest project, the Colour Clock, as an “an experimental project that represents the current time as a hexadecimal colour.” Each color is gathered by interpreting the hour, minute, and second values that describe the reds, greens, and blues.
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
Quick translation: Hexadecimal colors (aka hex code) are the shades defined by six digits in HTML and style sheets used in web design.
Nerd alert, indeed.
The result is the Colour Clock, a constantly changing background that’s available for download on Hughes’ website.
