setInterval & setTimeout not working as expected

I followed the quickstart and the setInterval command doesn't work - the led doesn't flash

I can turn it on and off with toggle() -- but setInterval doesn't call toggle?

getTIme() is incrementing as I call it

I expected setTimeout(getTime,1024) to output the time in a second

it didn't...

my startup says:

what am I doing wrong?

thanks

( I'm a long time javascript developer, so I'm very confused when something this simple doesn't work )
