...and it only took 2 minutes.

Remember to set your clocks ahead one hour for DST!

(And from the looks of it, remember to set your profile's time zone accordingly too.)

What?  I was told it wasn't until monday!
Holy crap, I guess that explains how it jumped from 1:00 to 3:30 since I last checked the time and hour and a half ago. xP

Time changes are always on Sundays at 2 am if I recall...

Yup, but this year they moved it back a few weeks.  Time change is today, March 11.

Ah, I didn't notice that.  I was just stating how the time change couldn't have been monday, really (last year I didn't even have to deal with a time change, heh).

Ah, ok: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6438563.stm

I was wondering about that.  It didn't make sense to have it on a monday; that would mean you'd have to go to bed an hour early or lose an hour of sleep on a work day.  That is, if you work on mondays.

Trivial tidbit: Traffic accidents increase 10% during the first week of DST.

Why would there be more accidents the whole week? :-?

Maybe it was just the day of the switch, I forgot.  But it takes time to adjust (and some people don't adjust at all).

But would the inability to adjust somehow make them worse drivers inherently?  Or is it more of "Oh, I'm late" so they drive recklessly?

The cause is unknown, but statistics show there are more accidents.  Probably some of both.

Also, I was wrong, it's just the day of the switch and the day after.

Ah, ok. :-P  That makes more sense then. :-)

All my clocks have high-tech auto-reset features so that I never have to change them. =D

Which is really good, because I've wind up finally remembering to reset my cell phone and computer some time in August if they didn't do it for me. xD
