I thought about putting a clock on my home page that would show the apparent solar time at my house, IOW sundial time, day and night.
I did a test page that would have the server get GMT, calculate an approximation for the equation of time, and then give the current solar time (note: not "mean solar time," which is no fun) at my house. I just did a sparse readout for my own benefit for the test, and chose the sign of the EOT for the convenience of the formula. http://www.stevelee.name/eot.php
