Ocean in Motion: Nasa's Mesmerizing View of Earth's Underwater Highways

Random-Number-Generator Watch

That's so random.

Wrote Clive Thompson:

I dig LCD watches that, on top of time-telling, carry some sort of extra computational resources.

They're not full-on smartwatches, but they have some weird advanced abilities.

Here's a great example of this genre — the "D20 Black Resin," which generates random numbers in quanta useful for tabletop gaming:

• In addition to telling the time, it lets you roll a virtual 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, or 20-sided die with the push of a button, and displays critical success and critical failure icons on D20 rolls of 20 or 1.

• It also features an Advanced Combat Mode where you can roll a D100, roll up to 12 dice at once, and even roll with advantage or disadvantage on a D20.
