Hi all, 

A quickie post for today.  Would you like to know exactly how many days, months and years pass between two dates?  Yep - me too.   You could calculate it yourself manually by figuring out how many days are in each month and do a lot of addition. 

Or you could visit TimeandDate.com and let the computer do the hard work for you. 
Click here for a link to Time and Date.  

For example, if you want to know how many days have passed between July 8, 1949 and February 13, 1998, click on this link

And yes...this is a goofy link, but kind of fun to know about - especially at cocktail parties. 

Enjoy the calculations. 

Regards, 
Stu

Perpetual Calendars and More

Hi All,

Time is definitely going on and on and on...its just the way it goes.  That's why today's blog entry is all about perpetual calendars.  What is a perpetual calendar?  Click here for a quick overview of what a perpetual calendar is. Suffice it to say that a perpetual calendar is a 'calendar valid for many years, usually designed to allow the calculation of the day of the week for a given date in the future'.

This next link from Infoplease gives the reader a perpetual calendar for any month or year in the Gregorian calendar.

For example, July 4th, 2055 will be a Sunday...perpetual calendars are useful to see when various holidays, birthdays, anniversaries and other special days are set to occur at some time in the future.

Click on this link for more information and fun stuff on calendars and how they work and how you can use them to figure out what months in a particular year have Friday the 13th's and more about the Julian and Gregorian calendars.

This next link is from the University of Notre Dame archives and is a simple page where users can display a calendar for a particular month and year...you'll get to see the whole calendar and the days of the week all on one page.

Enjoy the links and the pages and the calendars.

Stu
