For Dates, Times, Anywhere
If you were born on, say, March 14, 1935, did you know that as of Feb. 24, 1999, you have resided on this planet for exactly 23,358 days? That and other chronometric esoterica are key features at Time and Date, the invention of Steffen Thorsen, a 22-year-old student in Norway. Instant calculation of the number of days between two dates is one gimmick, and another is finding out what time it is if you've had a long night on the town in Phoenix and you desire to phone Uncle Fred, who has just upped stakes for Sydney, Australia. Figuring what time it is somewhere else on earth is never easy, what with time zones and summer time and daylight saving time -- and do you add or subtract hours? The site also allows you to create your own personal world clock, giving the time in places of most interest to you. And as a bonus, Time and Date advises when the clocks go forward or backward in any country -- and it provides a calendar for any year you choose.
