The Oracle Watch keeps you up on your I-Ching

The Oracle Watch mixes the shape of a bangle with the font from an old Apple II with the I-Ching. It also tells time. I don’t really like Eastern philosophizing in my watches though: I prefer them to stick with telling time, playing video games and turning into a Transformer.

    Yus. Although you could probably say something about how electronic ‘random’ number generators are far from random. Or at least, are not connected very well to the ‘inter-connectedness of all things’.

    Also, Mr Brownlee is wrong and this is spiffy.

    Conversely, I would prefer a philosophizing wristband than a clock.

    I miss my old Voltron watch every day.

    Actually, Dirk buys an I-Ching / calculator, that returns the correct value to any equation with a solution less than 3, and “a suffusion of yellow” for any equation 3 or greater.

    I suspect Dirk would highly approve of this watch, though.
