Some great gem’s in blog-land tonight

“If you think you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re the fool.” 
“Sell to one customer.  Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.”
“Fail fast.  Fire, aim, repeat.”

and many more great axioms for Web next.0 – at UnstructuredVentures

and the best article I’ve read in a long time on “what’s next on the web” is a review of answers to that question when posted to ReadWriteWeb users.  Well worth a read.

“You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.” — Frank Zappa

Daylight Savings Time Trivia

Published by Spencer under Thought pharts

  • It’s “Daylight Saving Time,” NOT “Daylight SavingS Time”
  • Sonora Mexico is adjacent to Arizona so it follows the Arizona convention of not observing DST
  • In the US, DST changes at 2am local time. In the EU, DST changes simultaneously in 3 time zones — 1am, 2am or 3am depending on which time zone you are in.  This allows all of the EU to change their clocks simultaneously.
  • DST start/stop rules are reversed in the Southern Hemishpere, just like the seasons
  • Argentina and Iceland observe DST year-round with no clock shifts
  • Prior to 2006 certain counties in Indiana observed DST while others did not
  • Australia has 5 time zones when DST is in effect including half hour zones (UTC+9, +9.5, +10, +10.5, +11), and has 3 timezones when DST is not in effect
  • Before 2005 DST in Israel varied each year and was skipped some years
  • DST rules anywhere in the world can change at any time via local re-legislation
