Still yawning from losing that hour of sleep Sunday? Feeling rushed? Even though spring doesn’t officially start until March 20 (a day earlier than usual, another reason for feeling squeezed for time), setting the clocks forward seems to announce spring.

You know it’s an odd week when it starts with a snow storm in Las Vegas. Yes, the Vegas in Nevada, with all the casinos, in the desert.

Grindstone and nose should be in tight proximity since we’ve had a full week of non-holiday time.

New IoT info? Always, and this week is no exception. Head’s up: other countries are starting to become IoT-addicted.

Hands on
