Now remember, we're getting a whole extra second of 2008, so let's make it count! http://www.dailytech.com/61Second+Minut ... e13826.htm61-Second Minute Takes World into 2009
Kristy Erdodi - December 31, 2008 2:33 PM
Not ready to let go of 2008? Tonight official timekeepers will give you one more second to hold onto, just before midnight.
Immediately before 2009 officially arrives, timekeepers will be adding a leap second – the first for three years – to atomic clocks worldwide.
According to Peter Whibley, a senior research scientist at Britain’s National Physical Laboratory, digital clocks with the ability to pick up definite leap second information will countdown to the new year as “57, 58, 59, 60, 00,” with “60” representing the leap second.
Whirbley explained why the earth’s erratic rotation has resulted in this need for an additional second: “The difference between atomic time and Earth time has now built up to the point where it needs to be corrected, so this New Year’s Eve we will experience a rare 61-second minute at the very end of 2008 and revelers…will have an extra second to celebrate.”
Determining time based off of the sun’s movement across the sky is not only a concept from the past, as astronomers still use the approach; inevitably, it has been modernized, but the sun currently stands as a tracking source for both stars and spacecrafts.
In general, the Earth is not completely reliable on keeping time. Disruptions to its core, extreme weather, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes, along with its inconstant speed and ability to wobble, can all act as factors in affecting the length of one day. As a result, in order to align atomic time with astronomical time, leap seconds must be added every so often. This extra time helps in keeping the sun overhead at noon.

Happy new year all. I'm back to work today and was sick since Sunday night, wasting a perfectly good week of vacation laying on the couch. On the bright side, I did get my new PS3 and set up all the media stuff so I can watch netflix and other online providers, and all the content on my PC. It's an awesomely cool thing.
