I'm staying just across a canal from this thing. It's got an IMAX theater inside it, and when you sit in the garden beside it you notice that it plays spatialized rotating loops of "futuristic"-circa-1985 computer music at a discreet volume.

Allocryptic world clocks:

EPCOT
STONEHENGE
THUNDERDROME

― Werner Herzog Netflix Quine (ex machina), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 14:18 (nineteen years ago)

it goes:

THUNDERDOME [Japan, Central Aus.]
EPCOT [New York, Orlando]
STONEHENGE [GMT]

I would like to get better signage for the clocks, tho.

ANDREW, DO YOU KEEP THE STONEHENGE CLOCK ON WET (aka going to British Summer Time) OR GMT (NO SUMMER TIME)?

All countries in Europe bar Iceland observe DST and change on the same date and time, starting on the last Sunday in March and ending on the last Sunday in October.

[...]

North America generally follows the same procedure, going by local time in each zone, each time zone switching at 02:00 LST (local standard time) to 03:00 LDT (local daylight time) on the first Sunday in April*, and again from 02:00 LDT to 01:00 LST on the last Sunday in October*.

* In 2007, the starting and ending dates for DST will change in the United States and parts of Canada (see below).

[...]

Beginning in 2007, DST will start on the second Sunday in March, and change back to standard time on the first Sunday in November. Under Section 110 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the U.S. Department of Energy is required to study the impact of the DST extension no later than nine months after the change takes effect. Congress has retained the right to revert back to the DST schedule set in 1986 if it cannot be shown that there are significant energy savings from an extension of DST.

robyn,

I was so enamored with this building after seeing it from the Eiffel that I actually went over to the business district and checked it out. definitely more interesting from a distance.

i first noticed it from the top of the arc de triomphe! and took a bunch of pictures that i should dig up - it just sits there looking weird and awesome on the horizon. i wanted to go to check it out close up but there wasn't enough time. plus my friend was NOT into doing that even though I said "but, big, cube, CUBE, BIG" etc. She was, like, EVERYTHING is big in Paris. which i thought only made the cube MORE OF A GOOD THING.

FUN FACT: the Arc de Triomphe fits exactly into the negative space of the cube.

robyn you missed nothing, i went up it to the top to view a crap ass student art exhibition and to look out at buncha office buildings.
