Default DTV countdown timer

Jay,
We all know you've got a lot on your plate as it is and we don't want you to work too hard. Wouldn't it be sweet if we had a DTV countdown timer on here somewhere? Countdown to full DTV USA switchover. There are any number of formats you could choose. Days/Hours/Minutes/Seconds or any combination of these. To me it's a little like waiting for Christmas.

Looks like it's only for blogs (posts and pages). Couldn't find an example of it on there either?

I don't know much about web design. I'll have to start looking into the design part more.
I did find this
How do I add a countdown timer to my Web site? :: Free Tech Support from Ask Dave Taylor!
Maybe it will help if you decide you would like to pursue the clock idea.

That's a great website, thanks for the link, I'll probably try the javascript one for starters.

Nice catch CptlA. The law states By Midnight. Dang it! That means there's one (1) more day to wait
