A Temporal Revolution

Who wants to join me in converting to military time? It just makes sense, like the metric system. Whether you’re with me or not, expect to hear military time from me.

“a.m.” and “p.m.” were invented for sissies afraid of subtraction. Vive la revolution! (This post was made at 1424).

This came up a lot during my trip to London, by the way. So that’s the inspiration.

I’d say I’m already half converted just in how I have my calendars set up. But I’m with you, man. Next stop, metric system!

I started using 24 hour time wherever possible a few years ago (computer, cell phone).

It all stemmed from a dark winter afternoon where I took a nap and woke up at 5:30. I did not know if it was 5:30 PM or AM.
