Following a long delay, I have produced a new episode. This time I'm talking about Apple's iPad. Like most computers, it doesn't keep time very well on its own. However, believe it or not, you can have atomic timekeeping on an iPad! You just have to know what apps to use. And that's what I want to tell you about.(Click on any image for a larger version.)First and foremost, if you have an iPhone, an iPod Touch or an iPad, you must get this free clock app from Emerald Time...Apple's iTunes Store link

This time, I'll talk about how difficult it is to set your own, personal, real atomic clock to "the correct time." Taking "lag time" into account, this could be a real problem. For most of us, a "radio controlled" clock is good enough but for some people, nothing is sufficient short of owning a real atomic clock. Some of these people call themselves "Time Nuts," and here are some links that will lead you to them...http://www.leapsecond.com/A link to the Time-Nuts mailing list sign-up pageSomeone's
