Image
After a few days of this blog being down (grrrrrrr) it seems to have been fixed, so welcome! I will use this post just to collect some of the best of the news coverage from this year, which seems a bit more intense than it was last year. Not sure... Continue reading

Daylight Saving Time—Fall Back 2022 Meme Collection
Image
I wish I could say that my erudite writing and trenchant observations were what brings most people to this site. In reality, it is the goofy jokes, pointed cartoons, snarky tweets and other images that make up the Daylight Saving Time meme collection. And every year I think that I... Continue reading

Answer to the question: “Is this the last year we will Fall Back for Daylight Saving Time?”
Image
I have a search set up so that once a day, I get an email with all the stories that mention “Daylight Saving Time” and the last couple of weeks have seen a flood of them, all with a similar headline: Is this the last time we will Fall Back... Continue reading

Time to get back to not going back in time
Image
I know that headline doesn’t make a ton of sense. In short, it’s my way of saying that it is time for me to get back to work on this blog. I’ve been ignoring it for a while, even though there is plenty going on. Sorry about that. It's what... Continue reading

Colorado, at long last, moves to fix Daylight Saving Time
Image
Spoiler alert? In the excellent movie Everything Everywhere All At Once, there is a great scene that is unlike the rest of the movie, where the noise/music/dialogue/action all stop and two rocks are pictured in a barren landscape. The two rocks are two characters in the film, and one explains... Continue reading

Trust the scientists? It’s hard when they are so unscientific regarding Daylight Saving Time on Twitter
Image
When I was a candidate to be U.S. Representative, I personally talked to about two thousand people about fixing Daylight Saving Time. The response was overwhelming: People absolutely want to #LockTheClock and stop changing the clock twice a year. Most people just said they wanted it fixed, and that was... Continue reading

History and Geography of fixing DST, especially in Tennessee

(During my short-lived campaign to be a U.S. Representative, I got such great response from voters I talked to about my plan to #LockTheClock. I also got a bunch of nice notes from fans around the country, including this one, below. I’m finally cleaning out my inbox and re-read this... Continue reading

High Fives for fixing Daylight Saving Time
Image
Just a quick post to highlight a great story done in the Wall St. Journal. The story is similar to many of the others done this time of year, but it excels in showing that this issue is not like other issues in that Daylight Saving Time is something that... Continue reading

Tipping Point to fix Daylight Saving Time for good?
Image
It is a big week for those who want to #LockTheClock. It is the week before the change, so we all haven’t been robbed of an hour of sleep and can articulate why it is that the Spring Forward change is so deadly. And it’s even a bigger week because... Continue reading

Daylight Saving Time and Ukraine
Image
Right off the top, let me say that this is not the most important thing about Putin’s war on Ukraine. I totally understand that. The war is horrifying. I write this post to highlight one small aspect that shows, I think, the nature of what “time” is, and how that... Continue reading

Some personal news - I'm running for Congress!

This poor blog has been long ignored. I thought about just taking it down, but then it would look like I’m hiding something. I don’t have anything to hide, and the only thing I’m really embarrassed about is how little... Continue reading

Close readers of this blog may have been wondering why it has been so quiet of late. Truth is, I’ve just been a bit busy. This has always just been a hobby for me, something that I’ve enjoyed doing on nights and weekends for eight years now. Well, now I... Continue reading

New Idea For 2022 to Fix Daylight Saving Time
Image
The narrative surrounding the issue of fixing Daylight Saving Time has evolved from being a niche topic, to being a legitimate concern for state and national legislators. That’s great. As it has evolved, we are now starting to grapple with a question that hadn’t been real before, and now is:... Continue reading

The Truth About the Politico Story
Image
One of the all-time great journalism movies is Absence of Malice. The movie is about a reporter played by Sally Field, and a guy who gets falsely accused of being in the mob, played by Paul Newman. Newman gets revenge in a clever way, which leads to Field’s character getting... Continue reading

Behind the Scenes with Jon Lovett and our Shared Quest to Fix Daylight Saving Time

I was a reporter for years before I became a startup founder, and so I always try to be as accommodating as I can when reporters contact me, especially if they are from local papers or radio stations. They work so hard for so little pay. And then sometimes I... Continue reading

During most of the year, most of my blog traffic here goes to the home page, the DST legislation page and the research page. But right around the time changes, there is one page that rules them all: the DST memes. This year, I am trying something new, putting together... Continue reading

Summertime is done, DST is next. When will clock-changing end?
Image
Greetings to my surprisingly large number of readers from Europe! In whatever language you use, you generally refer to the period where the clocks are an hour later as summertime instead of the completely American Daylight Saving Time, which we of course turn into an acronym of DST. (That comes... Continue reading

ThisClose to Progress on DST in Canada
Image
Well, we’ve now had the first state- or province-wide vote on the issue of Daylight Saving Time, and unfortunately the result did not go the way I had hoped as voters rejected a proposal by the narrowest of margins. That’s right. More than a million votes cast, and the margin... Continue reading

Daylight Saving Time As Distraction, the Global Edition
I’ve written before about how I think that politicians have used Daylight Saving Time as a distraction from some other topic. Probably the clearest example was when Nixon ordered a change the clocks while in the midst of Watergate — in January! (Changing the clocks is always bad, but doing it in... Continue reading

DST: The one issue that can fix them all
The classic movie Bridge Over the River Kwai is now more than 60 years old, so if you haven’t seen it, well, too bad, I’m going to ruin the ending for you. The movie is about a British soldier who gets captured during WWII and is held in a POW... Continue reading

Voting Guide: Daylight Saving Time in Alberta
Image
Alberta is not the most famous of the Canadian provinces. It’s probably best known as the home of Calgary, and the 1988 Winter Olympics, which became even more famous because that’s when the Jamaican Bobsled team made its international debut, as featured in the Disney film Cool Runnings. But Alberta... Continue reading
