Daylight Saving

I find Daylight Saving time really amusing. In the spring it creates this odd discontinuous gap in time, and in the fall it creates a period of time that is repeated. There are two instances of every moment of time between October 29 1:00am and 1:59am. I hope nobody planned any important meetings during that period of time.

I once woke up and went to school an hour early from overlooking Daylight Saving. Not that I'm assuming that anyone else will forget this, but just in case: On October 29, after 1:59am, the clock should turn back to 1:00am.

Some interesting/funny reads:
Seth Godin's "This time, it's different"
-Discusses some history of Daylight Saving, like how in 1444 the walled city of Basel thwarted a planned attack by changing the town clock.

Webexhibit's Daylight Saving Time
-This one covers some interesting things like how the Energy Policy Act of 2005 is changing when Daylight Saving happens starting 2007, how bars deal with serving alcohol on Daylight Saving days, and how Arizona randomly does not partake in Daylight Saving.
