Status Update- Beat the Clock

Today, we are starting Status Updates as our new blog series. Hopefully, it will last longer than the animated tv version of Kevin Smith's "Clerks" (there is also a more famous film version and a comic book version; we don't think there is a Clerks opera though!). Not that anyone cares, but I actually follow Smith on Twitter. I wonder if he actually still resides in New Jersey.

Here is our first Status Update:

"I really should NOT have slept an extra two hours this a.m. because I can never get them back."


I do blame to excessive zzzzzzzs on staying up too late and sinus mediation, but I know that sounds like whinning.

While putting this piece together, we were curious as to learn what was going on with the Boulder Atomic Clock in Boulder, Col., which has the most accurate time in the country.

According to the clock, which one can now find on the net, it was 15:28:30 eastern time, 13:30:50 in Colorado and it was 11:29:10 in Anchorage, Alaska, where perhaps one person looking at this entry actually resides!

Silly Picture to Fill Space- An Alarm Clock

If there is one thing all of us hate more than politicians who get away with infidelity that Warren Beatty would raise an eyebrow at (and, this is coming from someone who almost volunteered for John Edwards. But I should remind our Republican/Tea Party friends that Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho is still 'not gay.') it would have to be the ever-annoying morning alarm clock.

Supposedly, there is an Atomic Clock in Boulder, Colo., which keeps track of the exact time of day down to the nano-second, but we don't have time to actually verify this!

But, a friend of mine from Provo, Utah, told me they have great microbrews in Boulder (can never not make enough fun of people from Utah--nudge, nudge, wink, wink!)
