Anybody remember the location for the "place to be" on-line on December 31 as the clock rolls over at different time zones so that you can monitor the situation(s)?

Time Zone Maps?

Been quick browsing but...

This is a great map, and NOT "quite" what you want. Ideally something of this quality level, showing time zones...

Global Seismic Monitor...

Info... and lame map...

http://www.timeticker.com/

(TimeTicker - get the time in locations or time zones selected from a world map. Requires the Flash-Shockwave plugin and Java).

Time Convertor -- To calculate the time of two cities select the cities below and apply a time using the format "hh:mm" or just "hh". Setting no time means actual time is used.

Thanks DuffyO,

The Earth View map is pretty good (need an overlay of time zones)...

http:// www.jrwhipple.com/z2k/site_earthview.html

Other info on the site is useful. Like the Time Zone chart lower on the front page. Also liked the Webcam links in the various time zones.

NSmith,

I was thinking of requesting this site info, myself, as I lost it a while back. The jrwhipple site is the one you're thinking of - Zone2000

Folks, this site has people stationed in all 24 time zones who will be reporting in (real time) at the rollover. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

Here's a list of news/talk radio stations in the U.S. and around the world that can be listened to on the Net:

These could be very useful information sources on December 31st.
