Sunday morning, we will all (save Arizona, Hawaii and parts of Indiana) set our clocks back an hour. Our nights will begin sooner and our days will get increasingly shorter. But in the expanding darkness, there is some light as Vitra Design Museum has decided to produce George Nelson's Ceramic Clocks for the first time ever.
Originally designed in the early 1950s, these clocks never made it further than the early production stage. Using the original plans and prototypes, Vitra is finally manufacturing these ceramic beauties for George Nelson fans everywhere.
The clocks are available in three shapes and sizes for $290 from authorized Vitra dealers. These dealers include Vitra in Los Angeles and San Francisco as well as Zinc Details and Limn in San Francisco.

I believe Indiana joined the other states and all of it now participates in the DST Spring forward/Fall Back event. Just parts of Indiana are in one time zone (Eastern), and other parts are in another time zone (Central.)
Living in Arizona, no, we don't work with turning back the numerous clocks we have in our home. That's the good part. The BAD part is trying to remember how many hours ahead or behind certain time zones are once everyone else has changed their clocks!
Right now we're the same time as Los Angeles. On Sunday, we'll be the same time as Denver and an hour ahead of L.A. When it comes time for live events on TV (such as football!), we now have to wait another hour to view them...so instead of it starting @ 1000, it's now 1100. Oh well, I guess I can sleep in for another hour! ;-)

I hate daylight savings time - The idea of resetting clocks in the spring so that I have to go from waking up in the daylight to waking up in the dark...
...and struggling in the fall to deal with the darkness in the morning until DST ends - It's just too much.
Plus I don't see that there's any "savings" to moving the darkness in the morning to the evening.
OK - Rant over:
Love them clocks.
