 What are we doing?

March 12, 2007 at 12:55 pm  |  politics, technology, rant

It seems that the US Attorney thing is all over the news now a days, but I just read through a blog article that outlines our NH Attorney record. This is mostly focused on the Phone Jamming scandal from back in ‘04 and it is an interesting read. I’m sure the source is biased but do you think there is something here? I am still to ignorant of NH politics… maybe it is time to start reading a local newspaper (blah!). Is there actually a good NH newspaper? The NH Gazette, while entertaining, just isn’t enough.

Also, anyone else get annoyed by the daylight savings time change? I’m personally think it is a waste of time and money to switch our clocks twice a year. How many man hours are wasted by exhausted employees every spring (i.e. like me right now)? Does it actually save any energy at all? How much money does the change over cost us in software updates, missed flights, missed calls and customer complaints? I assume that Bushie didn’t do any research before this was forced on us (knowing his view on science), so what was the decision based on? I think it was just a way to make Bush appear to be environmental while doing absolutely nothing. It is frustrating.

  1. I’ve been harping about Daylight Saving Time for years. Personally, I don’t like the idea of changing clocks twice a year. Studies in energy savings have been inconclusive so far. Some say its under 1 percent. To me, it’s not worth the trouble unless the government can prove me wrong. By the way, just curious. What WordPress plugin are you using for your Archives? I really like it. -Ulysses

  2. The plugin is something called Extended Live Plug. I got it from Sons Of Skadi.

    I never thought of getting CTP from having to turn back the clocks. I’m, personally, very bad at turning our clocks back. The clock in my car will get turned back (a) when someone gets in the car who cares to change it or (b) never (it’ll be right again this fall).

  3. The plus side of daylight savings is now the clock in my dad’s car is correct again.
