In this episode, I mentioned BRG Precision in Kansas. Here's their main web page, where you can drool over their wide selection of industrial-style systems and large-digit clocks.

Welcome to episode 5, my special episode about Daylight Saving Time. Download the episode here...

Just a few notes:

Remember that the most proper way to refer to Daylight Saving Time is just that. It is not "Daylight Savings Time" nor "Daylight Saving's Time," although many folks probably refer to it by those variations.

For more about Daylight Saving Time, try these links...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology page about Daylight Saving Time. Short and to the point.

The Wikipedia article about Daylight Saving Time. Not as short nor to the point, but if you want a lot of information, try it out.

Another spin on Daylight Saving Time from a California government-run web site.

A Help page from Microsoft to assist Windows users to make sure their systems are ready to make the proper changes for Daylight Saving Time.

This is an activist-type web page proposing a permanent end to Daylight Saving Time. Furthermore, they have a very interesting idea about changing the Time Zone layout of the Continental United States. I'm not saying that this is the best thing to do. I just think it's interesting and I'd never heard of this idea before seeing this web site.

Remember these official show notes at http://atomicelmer.blogspot.com and you can expect at least two more episodes of the Atomic Timekeeping Podcast in November. Happy Halloween, everyone!Subscribe to the Podcast in iTunes
