Yes

Hello RB,
Yes, everybody need a pencil, specially reporters.

  Pens don\’t work when it\’s cold out. Every reporter working north of, say, Nashville has learned this and always has at least one pencil.

Nice one! Although I\’m partial to the \’zoom a little zoom\’ diddy this was a nice foray into a new intro/exit theme!

I guess with all those new jobs she has Joanne can afford to toss around those phones that the rest of us just get to read about ;)

  If you\’re tired of this meme, don\’t sit through this whole thing. But at about a minute in this gets hilarious.
  
  (Oh yeah, and a warning for language in case you work in a nunnery or something.)

Actually–not to be obnoxious or anything–as far as concluding another day not on Earth, nope. Days only exist on Earth. On Mars, a full rotation on the axis is called a Sol and it is 24hrs:40mns long.

The rest of the Universe is beyond me. Honestly, we extrapolate time from cycles and ruin not just our own lives with the stuff. Almost anything that attempts to live outside of time is threatened with great harm and destruction until it finally escapes the vicious contrivance.

Personally, I wish to know the cycles of the Universe. And I’d like to not bastardize them with a digital countdown from some postulated beginning to some equally fictitious ending. Anyone who insists on beginnings and endings can go right ahead and contemplate all the beginnings and endings between the beginning and ending of the smallest fraction of “time” they can imagine. At least it will spiral them out of further participation in building a “time” cage around me and the rest of life on Earth.

Admittedly, I may have to start with Earth cycles and work up to the Universe.

Tanx for the deal Rocketboom! Already free and commercial free, you continue to add quality functionality between you carefully timed existence. I really liked the excess professionalism at the sign-on and sign-off.

  P.S. I realize that when I finally escape time, I will become invisible to all you wonderful people, as opposed to there being some small hope of being known. But we already are mostly invisible to each other! The enormous intricacy and depth into the fabric of life on Earth that the countdown has achieved seems to be increasing velocity exponentially.
  
  Getting to know someone happens despite “time”. The more assimilated by “time”, the more isolated by contrivance. The more merged with cycles, the more a part of life.

    I was shocked to see that show on TV Guide\’s list of the 50 worst TV shows ever:
    
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_Guide%27s_List_of_the_50_Worst_TV_Shows_of_All_Time
    
    It seemed so cool when I was a kid.
    
    Because, I think, the target audience had a mental age of 11.
