Propeller clock with a Propeller! (POV clock)

I have made a digital style POV clock. It is mounted on a CD and uses a Propstick USB and 20 SMD LEDs. It outputs the time as numbers and keeps time with the internal Propeller clock. I am working on it now to have an RTC and have an optional "analog style", which seems to be the more popular option for circular POV clocks, and I will update you when that is complete.
I have a full writeup complete with pictures of the setup on my blog, here: http://microcontrolled.com/?p=58

Thanks!

    This looks like a pretty cool project. I am going to try to build one with surface mount RGB LED's next time I order from digikey. I think 2 single AA battery holders on opposite sides of the disk would help balance it a bit more.

    Once you get the sync down right, I think you can display some cool graphics with this. like this POV clock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4F8UbM-1t4&NR=1 this would be an awesome display for the propeller. I imagine it would be fairly difficult to get it all working right though.
