The World Clock – Time Zones is a great tool if you need to check time in other places. The starting page lists many but you can also create Personal World Clock with just the cities you need.

Another tool is The Fixed Time World Clock.

Michael Martine at Remarkablogger has some really interesting posts with suggestions about how to create blog posts in ten minutes or less. The first one is Ten Ways to Crank Out Killer Posts in Ten Minutes or Less. Then came TWELVE MORE Ways to Crank Out Killer Posts in Ten Minutes or Less where he collected user ideas and got a new post for his blog.
One of my favourite TED Talks is Benjamin Zander: Classical music with shining eyes. Do not let the title fool you, the talk is about music and passion but also brings up leadership.
Benjamin Zander has two infectious passions: classical music, and helping us all realize our untapped love for it — and by extension, our untapped love for all new possibilities, new experiences, new connections.
What stuck with me is his comments about when he considered that as a conductor he makes no sound. Instead his role is a leader, to have the ability to make other people powerful and to awaken possibilities in other people. Benjamin also says that a leader shall never doubt the capacity of the people he is leading.
Benjamin Zander mentions that he measures success in how many eyes are shining. My eyes were shining bright after watching this talk.
