Ways to make a software-rendered (on-screen) digital clock terrible:

use a proportional-width font
anchor to the right edge
display seconds

The combination of all three is both (a) something I've now encountered multiple times in the last 24 hours, and (b) worthy of a lengthy prison sentence.

Every time I turn my oven on to preheat I think I'm hearing the opening of A Love Supreme. It's not quite identical, but close enough that I wonder if it's a tribute by a Coltrane fan nestled somewhere in the depths of LG Corporation.

Attachment: pushing the start button on my oven and the ensuing chime sounding a hell of a lot like the opening four notes of a classic jazz album

Attachment: Banana, minutes after being engraved by a LASER.
