where did my answers go?

I just tried to load answers.google.com, and it doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure if it's temporarily down or if they've discontinued it.

That's a damn shame, because I was actually going to try using it.

I've always had a dream of building an LED clock, with 60 LEDs for seconds, 60 for minutes, and 12 for hours. I think it'd be really cool looking, and I've never seen one for sale. I did two years of electrical engineering in college, so I could build it just fine, but I don't remember enough to DESIGN it, without spending a lot of time and effort.

So I figured I'd offer someone $20 to design it, and tell me where to get the parts affordably (generally that many LEDs in a store will cost you a hundred bucks). It would be a perfect use of answers.google, because the right person, skilled in component design, could do it in half an hour, and make a quick 20 bucks.

But alas, I'm fucked. Or maybe it will come back. They still list it on their products page. In the meantime, anyone want to make 20 bucks? :)

edit: Crap, one of my buddies just loaded it successfully, so I must be having some weird DNS issues. The offer still stands, though.
