Spring Forward!

Daylight Saving Time just pushed most of the U.S. from 2 - 3am Sunday morning. But before you set your clock like a Lemming, check out this cool Daylight Savings Website to understand the rationale for implementing DST and Summer Time.

A few positives:
  • fewer traffic accidents and violent crimes
  • energy conservation
  • increased voter turnout
  • safer trick-or-treaters
Along with the ongoing complaints:
  • lost productivity
  • sleep disturbances
  • disrupted mornings and religious practices
  • inconvenience
  • assault on logic
There's also an historical timeline and breakdown showing specifically how your region is affected. If you've never delved into the logic of this tradition before, it's worth a look.
