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.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
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.
