I'm catching up on my blog reading. Nigel posted this eons ago about a global "internet time". While we have a timezone that we can all thunk down to (GMT) we don't share the same working hours.

For me personally, I don't care about working at night and sleeping during the day. Maybe each hemisphere could take turns working at night, and at the cross over we all stop and have a week long party.

Obviously there are issues for industries that work outdoors, but maybe we'd only sweep the streets half the year? :P
