Very cool. I recently did something similar when I got bored one night and created a Silverlight version of the countdown timer on Lost. I kinda cheated with the flip animation though.

I'm gonna check out your implementation. If you want to check mine out it's at http://josheinstein.com/blog/index.php/2010/05/lost-button-simulator-in-silverlight

Luckily the 1960's versions didn't have seconds. That would have been annoying.

Hey -- I just did that! :) (Admittedly, I took a somewhat different approach).

Looks good, Aaron! (Gosh, the easing function really adds a lot, doesn't it?) — Charles

You could even use a ramp-up on the flip animation to account for the circular motion that letter has to make when it flips. A parabola will approximate the sine curve very well.
