James W. Clardy at Dell told me about this lunchtime clock. It speeds up 20% every day at 11:00 and slows down 20% every day at 11:48, giving you an extra twelve minutes of lunch to enjoy. Twelve minutes may not seem like a lot but, to put it into perspective, this is a full additional hour of lunchtime gained every week. You can build it yourself, too, using the instructions available at http://www.instructables.com/id/Lunchtime-Clock and the Adafruit DS1307 Real Time Clock Kit.
