Don’t forget to set your clocks forward 1 hour this Sunday at 2 AM, with the exception of a few states.
It’s that time of the year again. Well, almost…. This year we are changing the time three weeks earlier by order of the U.S. Congress. Why? Because we need to save energy, according to the Energy Policy Act of 2005. We need to lengthen the daylight to curb our domestic energy consumption. Meaning if it is brighter outside, we will use less electricity to light up buildings. And the timing seems to be perfect too. Have you seen the latest gas prices? $3.21 for a gallon of premium unleaded and $2.98 for regular unleaded in Cupertino!

Pulling up the date has caused some difficulties for our electronic devices, especially for us here in Silicon Valley. It is not as severe of a problem as Y2K was a few years back, but there are some software updates available to insure things will run smoothly. Here are some sites which will help you keep all of your electronic devices in order: Palm devices, Microsoft, Apple, and Blackberries.Good luck.
