For example, reading about the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Incense_clocks\">incense clocks<\/a> on the timekeeping wiki really piqued my interest! I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever heard of timekeeping by smell. I\u2019ve always loved cuckoo clocks for the same reason (plus the fact that I love quirky, motored trinkets).<\/p>\n<p>Also! The wiki page touches on something called <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Astrolabe\">Astrolabes<\/a> made in Persia, specifically in Esfahan (which, if you can tell by my last name, is where my family is from)!<\/p>\n<p>In the history of timekeeping video, the narrator mentioned timekeeping used by churches to tell people when to come to service. This reminded me of one of my favorite things in the world &#8211; the Islamic call to prayer \u201cazaan\u201d which plays really loudly from mosques (so you can also hear from your home) in Iran whenever it\u2019s time to pray. It\u2019s this beautiful and comforting melody, and I always love hearing it everyday whenever I visit Iran. If you think about it, it\u2019s a way of keeping time based on an activity, similar to the customizable clock we talked about in class.<\/p>\n<p>Also, here\u2019s a relevant meme just for fun:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-410\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-212\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screenshot-2022-02-01-at-3.01.35-PM-412x480.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"412\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-212\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screenshot-2022-02-01-at-3.01.35-PM-412x480.png 412w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-212\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screenshot-2022-02-01-at-3.01.35-PM-768x894.png 768w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-212\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screenshot-2022-02-01-at-3.01.35-PM.png 828w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 412px) 85vw, 412px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I personally find myself drawn to clocks\/methods of timekeeping that evoke senses other than sight (which, for me, is how I normally get time, like by looking at a clock or my phone).
