Because the powers that be decided to hold Daylight Savings Time 3 weeks early this year, you may experience some complications on your SmartPhone (Blackberry, Treo, BlackJack; Motorola Q, etc.), which was programmed to automatically update during the normally scheduled DST, not the new & improved one.

You may also experience complications on your computers as well.  For your convenience, I have listed sites to obtain necessary patches:

I had always hoped that Y2K would have dropped a soviet telephone sattelite on the US somwhere, but the worst that could happen, and I did this in spades is that the CEO would have to have enough brains to read the report upside down.

Well, fortunately we don't have to stock up on canned goods for this one, lol.  Might just miss a meeting or two though, oh darn.

This is the most relevant, astounding achievement of the bush presidency. I can think of no higher law- bush signed.
