The Leap Second

The Leap Second

This year will be just a second longer: 2008 will be one second longer. So, get something extra productive done in that time.

[…] a “leap second” is added on to our clocks every so often to keep them in synch with the somewhat unpredictable nature of our planet’s rotation, the roughly 24-hour whirl that brings the sun into the sky each morning

Resetting all my clocks will take more than the newly minted second, I fear.

My mind is racing with all the things I am going to do with my extra second!
