Site of the Day for Thursday, April 4, 2002
Indiana Time
Can't remember which way to set the clock for Daylight Saving Time this
weekend? Be happy you're not a Hoosier.
The great state of Indiana apparently has one of the most complicated time
arrangements in the U.S. This website, a project by some obviously bright
eighth graders, offers to clarify the entire situation.
"What time is it in Indiana? began as a curriculum-integration project for
a group of 8th graders in 1997. The product is a chart which simply answers
the question: What time is it in Indiana? or even, What is 'Indiana Time?'
" - from the website
With a helpful map, and pertinent information about government legislation
about time zone regulations, the website attempts to demystify the
perennial question, "what time is it in Indiana?". Additional material is
provided about Arizona, which has its own wrinkles in the observation of
Daylight Saving Time.
Zoom to the website for a surprisingly interesting bit of Americana at:
