What is the local time in Tokyo, Japan?

I keep wanting to know this so I put it here:

There's another Mars article in the Times this morning, which I wouldn't bother to note in a full post save for one thing: the way they got the results. The right front wheel of Spirit stopped turning in March 2006. Since then, the rover has been driving backwards, dragging the lame wheel along.…
Came across this post by Verdon, who has also attempted to answer Dean Esmay on why ID should not be in public schools. His answer sounds much like mine, though I think his is more succinct: Now, when we look at ID what evidence is there? Well? Having a hard time aren't you. You can't look at the…
By way of Matt Yglesias, I came across this post by Tyler Cowen claiming that the dislike towards HMOs is due to "they [patients] could be told they can't get all the care they want." Cowen is wrong: the dislike towards HMOs and for-profit healthcare in general is often a reasonable conclusion…
It's been a while since I've done a post over-analyzing some everyday situation, because I've been too busy to do any silly experiments. We're on break this week, though, so I took a little time Monday to bring excessive technology to bear on the critically important scientific question: how good…

Wow, that gave me a start. The widgit stopped for about two seconds, made me consider that they might be having some real fancy reactor problems. Fancy, like enough to warp time. LOL.

I'll be damned. The website gave an offset that looked like it was an hour off, by my local time. I checked into it further and realized that Daylight Saving Time had snuck up on me when I wasn't looking!

Now I've got to change all the clocks in the house that don't switch automatically.

Nice! Japan is 14 hours ahead of Minnesota...easy to remember and calculate. Thanks, Greg

I can't imagine how terrifying nights must be in Japan right now. Days have to be scary and depressing, but nights must be absolutely terrifying.

Just saw on the news: Gilbert Gottfried (voice of the AFLAC duck) has been fired because of snarky Tweets about tragedy in Japan. Don't know what he said, but apparently offensive enough that they no longer want him representing their company.
