I was ready for riots in the streets, exploding transformers, burning cars, animals escaping from zoos! Instead, I have none of this.
I am of course, speaking of the early changeover to daylight savings time. I am utterly disappointed that the world does not seem to be coming to an end today. The computer time changed, the cable box changed, and I’m assuming my cell phone changed as well (it’s in someone else’s car at the moment) - the only thing that could be considered a glitch would be the fact that the TiVo changed over at 2AM GMT, so it was actually 10PM when it changed.
So, I guess going to DST 3 weeks early wasn’t the end of the world they were predicting afterall.
If I can’t have riots, I’ll can settle for the extra hour of daylight in the evening.
UserFriendly’s take on early DST Sorry guys - yes, I’m sure this was a pain in the ass to deal with it, but it’s not like Congress made the change last week - you did have lead time on this one.

That reminds me, I need to check the TiVo to make sure it’s recording things at the proper times. :)
(My Blackberry knows the network time has changed, but apparently doesn’t realize it’s in the same time zone, or in DST, or something. Not that it ever auto-updated to network time anyway. :P)

My TiVo seems to be picking things up with no problems this morning.

LOL! Don’t you love the media and their ability to make everything seem like some earth shattering event? They amuse me sometimes…when they aren’t annoying the hell out of me. :-)

Must have been a slow week for “real” news. :)

We were pretty sure that nothing untoward happened because of the early daylight cravings time but when we turned the idiot box on we noticed that the online guide thingy was off by an hour.
Civilization, meet thine downfall. ;-)

LOL, yes, I think TV has already done us in. I didn’t realize Canada went on with the same changeover dates as the US. Sorry if we screwed y’all up on that one.
