RSVPs must be received by 2 PM, day-of.! Abstract Time is a funny thing. You can spend it, save it, waste it and kill it, but you can't change it and there is never any more or less of it. Everyone knows what it is and uses it every day but no one can seem to define it. In this talk I will provide a brief introduction to time, timekeeping, and the uses of time information, especially in scientific and technical areas. Media Speaker Bio Battling to keep unreliable clocks in sync, Steven is a system administrator who has gained an appreciation for the art and science of timekeeping.
