Inauguration Countdown

Masthead

Description

To celebrate the election of Joe Biden, I built a 4 foot tall countdown clock displaying the number of days until the inauguration and hung it in my home office window.

And with 13 days remaining in the countdown, someone shot at it, and we took it down.

Special Thanks

I stole this concept from Steve Krulewitz. I learned about it from Daniel Raffel who sent it my way. I learned about logic level shifting from the crew at Minnecrapolis & David Middlecamp.
