    Atomic Timekeeping Podcast Episode 25 - iPad Edition

    Following a long delay, I have produced a new episode. This time I'm talking about Apple's iPad. Like most computers, it doesn't keep time very well on its own. However, believe it or not, you can have atomic timekeeping on an iPad! You just have to know what apps to use. And that's what I want to tell you about. (Click on any image for a larger version.) First and foremost, if you have an iPhone, an iPod Touch or an iPad, you must get this free clock app from Emerald Time... Apple's iTunes Store link to view and/or download this free app Check out their web site for this explanation of their free Emerald Time App. NEXT, If you want to spend a mere 99 cents and get a really pretty Observatory App, also from Emerald Time, well, check this out... Apple's iTunes Store link to view and/or download Emerald Observatory Again, check out their official web site for more information about this app. (Please note that the Emerald Observatory is only available for the iPad.) But wait! There's more. For another mere 99 cents you can enjoy the wonderful World Clock Pro HD. Check out these screen shots... Here is the link to the Apple iTunes App Store listing of this beautiful app. One of the great things about this app is that it will work with the iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad. So reach deep into your piggy bank and let that 99 cents do something beautiful to your portable device. And then there are some other, free apps to consider. For example, Here's the free version of a sunrise/sunset database. It can automatically detect where you are and then tell you the sunrise and sunset times for that location. And here are the links to some other FREE apps that I mentioned in this episode... The Wink Alarm Clock for iPad The Dali Clock for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch Text Time for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch But... enough with the blog text.

    Atomic Timekeeping Podcast Episode 24

    I'm back! This time I'll talk a little about the newest offerings I've seen at Wal-Mart but then I'll also tell you about the HD radio receiver I recently installed in my car. This thing can set itself to the "correct" time provided by broadcasters... or can it? Learn more by listening. By the way, did you know that James Cameron has given us a new, out-of-this-world way to keep time? Read all about it here... http://www.leapsecond.com/unclock.htm Download my podcast episode here...

    Atomic Timekeeping Podcast Episode 22

    You can find "Atomix" radio controlled clock movements from Klockit at this place... http://www.klockit.com/products/dept-77__sku-AAAAH.html ...and if you want to see the movement which uses three AA batteries instead of just one, check it out here... http://www.klockit.com/products/dept-77__sku-Atomic_Clock_Movement_Battery_Pack.html And now, a quick illustration to show how batteries can be arranged in "parallel" or in "series." When batteries are wired in "parallel," as in the example above, the voltage remains the same but each individual battery is drained less than if you only used one. When batteries are wired in "series," as in the example above, the voltage of each battery adds to the entire voltage of the circuit. So three batteries together will produce three times the voltage.

    Atomic Timekeeping Podcast Episode 19

    First of all, I spent a little time in this podcast talking about my new, electric lawn mower. It's this Craftsman electric mower. Then I spent the bulk of this podcast episode talking about radio controlled wrist watches. Check out some links to.. Casio Watches Arcron Watches Oceanus Watches Junghans Watches ...and more watches And here are three radio controlled wrist watches from my personal collection. First, the Arcron-Zeit Digital Sports Watch... ...and the next watch is my first Casio Waveceptor Watch. And the next one is my "Tough Solar" Waveceptor watch, which I've actually had since 2006. So, have some fun with radio controlled watches! Download Episode 19 here... AtomicPodcast19.mp3 (Running time 46:42)Subscribe to the Podcast in iTunes

    Atomic Timekeeping Podcast Episode 18

    A few things this time around: First, if you're interested in radio controlled clock products from Skyscan, Here's a link to their company web site... http://skyscan.info/content/index.php That link will also contain links to contact information and product manuals for both current and discontinued products. Meanwhile here's a nice place to look up sunrise and sunset times for your favorite U.S. cities. http://www.sunrisesunset.com/custom_srss_calendar.asp And here's a math quiz for you. If I say, "This hamburger costs five times more than a sandwich," how do you express that as a mathematical equation? Let's see... if the sandwich is $1 then let's say that "n=1." Now, "five times more" would be something like this: "n + 5n," right? So then "five times more" is the same as "six times the original number." n+5n=6n. So if the sandwich is $1 then the hamuger is $6. Not five but SIX! Now, if I say that a used computer costs three times less than a new computer, how do you express that as a mathematical equation?. I'm not even going to try. So, download my podcast episode here... AtomicPodcast18.mp3 (Running Time 30:29)Subscribe to the Podcast in iTunes
