Here's the project I've been contemplating: A countdown-to-retirement clock.
My office is already littered with homebrew clocks, but this one would count down days, hours, minutes, and seconds. I'd need 10 digits. 12 if I did years, months, etc.... I haven't thought it thru but maybe just counting down by days would be sufficient - in that case I only need 4 digits. In any case it will be a great conversation piece and might keep me motivated at work.
