Now, we hear that the Clock is being changed:
Also the website for the Bulletin is being changed.
Right now, this is the only thing there:
I must say, I am curious to see what they have to say. I'm sure the announcement will be about the moving of the clock, closer to midnight. But what I am curious about is their reasoning. The people who write the Bulletin tend to be very well-informed, and insightful. My impression is that their involvement in politics is driven by their interest in science and in humanity. This I find refreshing, even if the subject matter is dreadful.

I wonder if they're going to make the state of the clock available as something that can be trivially queried by a machine? I suspect you'd see lots of user interface widgets turn up that surface them on web pages and status bars...

We'll see soon. But the clock changes only rarely; much less often than, say, the homeland security level. When they change it, it is the result of a serious analysis of world events.
