Daylight Saving Toll, so far

Radio clock in the bedroom: OK
Sam's computer clock: OK
Phone: OK
Automatic clock in the VCR: WRONG BZZT GAH, either despite or because of its being unplugged during the switch-over (actually, I forget if you have to switch it to DST manually)

In other news, I accidentally stepped in cat vomit while cleaning up after accidentally stepping in cat vomit.

"The Great Global Warming Swindle"

In case you're looking for a mainstream climate scientists' response to the UK Channel Four documentary "The Great Global Warming Swindle", here is one.

I haven't seen the show, but if it's true that they present the cooling from the 1940s-1970s as a mysterious flaw in the anthropogenic-global-warming hypothesis, that's remarkably dishonest. It's also remarkable that they're still pushing the supposed discrepancy between surface and tropospheric warming not long after the last major piece of evidence for that was explained away as a math error.
