SAN FRANCISCO - Daylight-saving time begins Sunday, three weeks sooner than usual. Time to spin the dial on the kitchen clock - and to brace for computer problems. The early start wasn't programmed into many electronic devices. That's created plenty of work for Luis Rodriguez, a software director at IBM, and David Woelfle, an enterprise architect at Electronic Data Systems. The two tech experts have helped dozens of companies update computer systems for the change.

The Internet doesn't have time zones, and while my colleagues in the blogosphere who happen to be located in the Eastern or Central time zones were watching the debate live on TV, we in the western states were left to either wait three hours, or DIY a Ustream webcast of the debate, which we did. About half way through we figured out how to make the local New Hampshire ABC affiliate webcast work on a Mac, and it was a little easier to understand what was going on. In 2008, sixteen years into the web, there's no excuse for not broadcasting a political event live to the world. If ABC News hasn't got the ability to do it, then ABC News shouldn't be running it. That Facebook lent its name and reputation to this fiasco is amazing. Why didn't they speak up?  BTW, otoh, Charles Gibson was a great moderator and the format was, in every way, fantastic. What a shame we all couldn't experience at the same time.
