timezones · 93 days ago

there has to be a better way to manage time zone information. yesterday i flew from mst to pst in the morning – and had a conference call from philadelphia while i drove to my meeting. it was a really weird experience to have that much variation in time zone. i have clients in the west and the east, and have to keep track of what time it is in each when i commit to a deadline.

i’m actually considering getting a little time-zone clock or setting up my dashboard with multiple clocks from many time zones. this week i’m in vancouver – and it’s weird to make calls to the east – last week i was in montreal and i was getting emails until 8:30pm from clients expecting a business day response.

i like having a wide client base, but understanding where i am in time and where my clients are is starting to become a lot to manage.

i really like the gates notes · 168 days ago

i like the idea, i like the writing style and i admire the content. you should check it out i was quite interested to see the video on three generations go to antarctica but the video player is horrid on a mac with safari. i must be missing something, but it’s not worth booting up a VM.

UPDATE: i visited the site a second time and refreshed my browser a few times and the video played smoothly. the first go round it was full of sound gaps and video artifacts.

i’m impressed that someone who has made a significant impact on the world is continuing to make efforts to make the world better. or at least to continue learning about this place we all live.

cambridge ideas: how many lightbulbs · 169 days ago

Cambridge University physicist David Mackay, in a passionate, personal analysis of the energy crisis in the UK. He debunks some myths about energy saving and goes on to show what will make a difference at home. But, his big point is that this will not be enough – individual efforts are not enough. Instead we need to make sweeping national changes to our energy production.
