      Lillian (5): Wait why is it morning in Chicago if it is night in Japan. *long explanation* Me: And that’s why it is 8 PM at night here but 5 AM in Chicago. Lillian: Wait the time is different too? Me: Yes. Lillian: Why not just have it be 8 PM everywhere and just be daytime there

      I think programming-induced trauma about time zones may be inheritable.

          Just tell her the only true measure of time is the number of seconds since January 1, 1970. Everything else is politics

          Ironically, this is a political platform I can get on board with.

          Some time zones can even differ by minutes, ie India Standard Time is 3 hour and 30 minutes behind Tokyo

          The worst part: countries with half-hour timezones. My first internship involved QAing teleconference scheduling software and I got deep into this pain.

          I spent six years working on calendar software at http://cozi.com . Time zones? Daylight savings? iCalendar? RRULEs? Gaaaaah!
