Spring Forward more like sleeping in annoyed
March 9, 2008
So another day light savings time day comes. My blackberry which automatically updates DST woke me up this morning essentially an hour too early. 
Currently my computer says it is 11:18am when it is really 10:18am. I would not go as far as saying DST is evil since well, DST has not tried to exterminate a race of people.
I would say DST is at the very least annoying just like I wrote about it back when Congress decided to increase the length of DST.
Actually it isn’t DST itself, but the change. Tricking people to get up an hour early is fine, but if it thats important lets just stay on DST permanently. People wont lose sleep and us people that work in IT wont have to worry about software that gets screwy with DST.
Some research (PDF) is starting to show that DST does not save energy.
Any politicians out there want to get on the get rid of DST change bandwagon?
Even if I don’t agree with anything else they stand for, I just might just have to vote for them, to get rid of something that is so useless and annoying.
