Can't find a cool clock for your studio? Write one!

Finding a cool looking, yet fully functional clock for our studio has been a surprising challenge. So rather than buying something that will suffice, Robbie took it upon himself to begin coding a custom clock dashboard that shows not only the time, but also a countdown to the top of the minute, whether we're on air or not, and even the storage space remaining on our server arrays. But can a Raspberry Pi handle it?
