vlog on personal timezones
Here's a vlog that may be of interest to people on this list. It's CGP Grey, whose "Daylight Saving Time Explained" video has previously been mentioned here, taking a three-day trip to Las Vegas (America/Los_Angeles) from Britain (Europe/London). Rather than live with the jet lag, he decides to keep his circadian rhythm on London time throughout the trip. As he comments, the 24-hour culture of Las Vegas is particularly amenable to maintaining a non-local timezone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-mHLBD64HM -zefram
Nice video. However, during the video, it starts with an 8 hour difference between Las Vegas and London. Then, on Sunday morning it's a 7 hour difference with no explanation. Presumably, this is because America started Daylight Saving Time that weekend, but UK did not yet. But then it goes back to an 8 hour time difference, which I think is a mistake. Also, he probably would have been better served to choose a flight leaving London in the morning rather than in the late afternoon.
