Update: ... That's today. Daylight Savings Time began today, March 8, 2009, at 2am in the USA and Canada. If you didn't spring forward, then you might be late, unless you don't have anywhere urgent to be. Which I sort of envy. I want my hour of sleep back.

If you're in the US or Canada and find yourself wondering, "When am I", then check the atomic clock. My iBook automatically updated its clock, but my XP machine did not, nor did my Samsung phone, though it was meant to. I set its alarm ahead an hour just in case. Good thing, too.

The EU and Russia begin Daylight Savings time  Sunday, March 29. For a full list of which countries participate in Dalight Savings Time and when they do so, check here.

Previously: In case you're wondering, Daylight Savings time starts on Sunday, March 8, 2009 in Canada and the USA. (We're no strangers to covering this topic)

"Spring forward"; in other words, "Lose an hour of sleep and be grouchy all day".

For our non-North American friends, here's a list of start- and end times for the rest of the world, including an interesting map of which countries observe DST and which do not.

Do you find it coincidental that Daylight Savings Time was devised by an avid golfer?
