Ever wonder how the daylight savings time elves work their magic? As previously mentioned, many clocks (connected to servers) in your house change automatically. Included in these are your cable boxes which are just computers. I'm never up past midnight but lately it hasn't really mattered and last night I purposely stayed up until 2 am to see exactly what happens. At 1:59 as I waited and watched that cable box. Then magic - wooosh - 3:00 am. An hour lost in the abyss of the evening.
I figured it would be uneventful. It wasn't like Y2K or anything, however, that was equally uneventful (our whole company was on 24-hr standby -- ahhhhh, those good old working days).
So now here I am up and watching TV at 3 am. This is the time when stations run their weirdest stuff. Well weird and racy (racy??). Many of the cable stations are running their not-ready-for-prime-time material. It's like all channels became Cinemax and as I sit in the darkened living room switching stations I wonder what kind of meeting took place at the National Geographic Channel to sell a block of hours to the sleazy vitamin hawkers and the pony-tailed guy and his wacky exercise machine. Are there really enough potential customers out there at that hour? Who watches this? Well, last night I did.. My equipment will be delivered Wednesday.
