Don’t forget to set your clocks 1 hour ahead today. Even though it feels like Congress was plotting against me, I came off pretty well. I only had to adjust 2 clocks in my room, my 2 alarm clocks – Sony Ericsson T610 and Official Alarm Clock. I did have to get a patch (Silly Microsoft) for my phone.
But the big news, the important news is that my watch adjusted by itself. I have an atomic watch you see. It’s a Casio that sets it’s time based on the atomic clock in Colorado. I was worried about this one because I figured that the radio signal would just have GMT time and the watch will just adjust based on the time zone I set, so I would be off. I was assuming DST information would be kept on the watch. Turns out I was wrong
It’s in the signal. Very clever.
So why would anyone buy a watch that isn’t a Casio Waveceptor?
This model, in particular, WV300DA-7B is pretty slick

Cellphones should have readjusted themselves too. They get time information from the local tower every now and then when it checks in, and should ask you if you want to accept the new time. Atomic watches are nerdy

Jeeze, I have to read your blog these days to find out what you’re up, Raishad.
That is, up to.
