No, not me personally. But I was looking up something on google, and the screenshot below shows one of the suggestions. Weirdly, it also had the most estimated results, too!
For the record, I was looking up “AST Time zone”. I was fairly certain it was Atlantic time, but I just wanted to double check. Weird, eh?

A google search for AST time suggests other things

Instead of doing a ‘guest book’ like in the usual tradition, we decided to go with a newer trend - the ’signature plate’. A signature plate is just what it sounds like, instead of a book they sign a plate with a special pen. You then bake the plate and voila, it’s permanent.
So I went poking around Etsy, one of the greatest craft sites out there, and stumbled onto Serendipity Crafts. We liked their designs, but wanted something a little more ‘us’ so we contacted them. A few (amazingly quick) responses and a day later and bam, they had a mockup for us. They had 2, we picked one and there you go.
And it’s bloody perfect - it fits the colors of the wedding, the geek factor, and everything else - wanna see it? Well here ya go (Click to make it larger):

Although I’m less then 5 minutes from the heart of the RNC action, and up until last month I would have been living in the middle of it - I just can’t tear myself away and go over there. As much as I wanted to document it all - my respect and loathing for the police is just to great.
I’ve been an ACLU spotter for a long time, I’ve been arrested in Illinois and WIsconsin multiple times. But I just couldn’t do it here. To much on the line these days.
But I highly recommend spotting once if you’ve never done it. You go where the protesters are, hand out ACLU information, and ’spot’ arrests and call the ACLU legal team to let them know what’s going down.
It can be rough, and you can be swept up with the fray, but at the end of the day, you do feel really good about making a difference.
