Americans, expect your clocks to be screwed up
Yesterday (Sunday) at around 2am would have been Daylight Savings Time, where our clocks go backwards one hour. Because of The Shrub, we had a law passed that allegedly saved energy, and expanded the dates of DST by something like one week on each end. Some electronic clock-based systems couldn't be patched, so expect a little bit of weirdness. My Palm Pilot updated itself incorrectly, so I had to reset it and shall have to do it again next Sunday, likewise I just noticed a board that I post to listed the incorrect time.
Oh, the official word of Congress and the Gov't on how much fuel was saved by making DST start earlier by a week or so: none.

Once upon a time, falling back happened the Sunday right after my birthday.. easy to remember, and an extra hour of sleep was a nice gift. Now it's going to take a little more to remember which Sunday.

But that's not going to happen.
My job: I worked for one year for the AZ Dept of Education writing a database reporting system to take their metrics and reformat them into the result required by the NCLB database. It was pretty cool, and it gave me a good job for a year.

Did you know that not all of AZ doesn't go on DST? The Navajo Nation recognizes it.
