A four letter word clock would be a cool operating mode as well.
Also, some animation options would be nice when the time changes: spinners, chasers etc.
How about a Bluetooth module that uses the serial interface which would connect to your computer and use the clock as a remote text display for tweets, stock ticker, emails notification, etc.
