Quote of the Week "You're in America now," I said. "Our idea of diplomacy is showing up with a gun in one hand and a sandwich in the other and asking which you'd prefer."

Popout H.S.T. Clock

The current method of keeping time is madness. How many minutes are there between 3:19 am and 7:41 pm? Most people need a calculator (or at least a piece of paper & a pencil) to figure that out. This is without brining multiple days into the picture. Nor does it take into account time zones or daylight savings time. This calculation should (and could) be as simple as "What is 741-319?"

The current practice is to divide a day into the arbitrary units of hours, minutes, & seconds. There are:

60 seconds in a minute.

60 minutes in an hour.

24 hours in a day.

1,440 minutes in a day.

86,400 seconds in a day.

And on top of that, (unless you are in a military, or some countries) the numbers of the times repeat themselves twice a day. We are essentially operating in Roman Numerals for tracking time, only more complex.

In Holeman Simplified Time (HST), we do away with this mad hodgepodge, and apply the principles of the metric system to timekeeping. To do this, you simply divide a day into 100 equal parts called centidays (sd*).

Any further granularity may be gained by using decimal places of a centiday. The standard is to use three decimal places. 1/1000th of a centiday is roughly equal to a second. There are 100,000 microdays (μd) in a day, compared to 86,400 seconds.) Microday are often pronounced "micks." I.e: "Just a mick" is the equivalent of "Hold on a sec."

In order to simplify timekeeping across the world, HST follows neither daylight savings time, nor bothers with time zones. 50 sd is the same moment in time if you are standing in London England, Huston Texas, or on the North Pole. The start of each day aligns with UTC.

* {Learn why it's sd rather than cd}. A centiday is 14.4 minutes long. Centidays are often pronounced "sid." I.e: "It's 50 sid" means that it is noon.
