Clocks…
December 31, 2005
I think that most of my clocks, and most assuredly all the clocks that matter (car, computer, phone, etc) will automatically compensate for the leap second tomorrow.
This is a good thing.
The other clocks (microwave, stove, bathrooms, etc) aren’t accurate enough to matter.
I like the whole clock-set-via-GPS-and-WWVB thing. Now, if only the VCR in my office would actually automatically be set correctly. Today it is three minutes off. Last week it was hours off. I think Comcast can’t send a proper time signal.
Leap second?

True… Fortunately most computers have an ‘Indiana’ setting, but… Yeah. Not things like WWVB wall hanging clocks.
