1. Just because I actually benefit from it this year doesn’t mean that I hate it any less. Now that we have curved the clocks, I no longer officially have insomnia because I’m pretty sure that there is some definition about having to wake up before 4am for it to count as insomnia, and today I woke up at the time that we are now calling 4:15.

  2. Sunrise this morning in Knoxville, TN is at 7:52am. That is right, the sun does not rise until almost 8am. One should not need to wake up significantly before sunrise in order to be on time for normal-people things. This is one of the reasons that I left Knoxville: the ridiculous year-round assumption that one should wake up before sunrise all the time in order to participate in society. Waking up hours before sunrise should be left for insomniacs and people who need to catch a plane.

  3. It will grate upon my pedantic soul for the next several months when people assert that certain events take place at such-and-such time EST when they mean EDT. This is very-bad extra worse when they mean PDT. If you want to be unambiguous about time, you can use Swatch Beats or the number of seconds that have elapsed since midnight UTC on January 1, 1970.

  4. Did the crons run? I bet that some of the crons didn’t run. Who else knows what went wrong. At least leap seconds are not foisted upon us by our government and the madness of the masses.

  5. All the people who want to go do things outside after work could just go in an hour earlier and leave everyone else alone. With very few exceptions I have not used an alarm clock in years, and I am strongly opposed to this societal peer pressure forcing people to wake up early just because some people want to go out and play in the evening.
