If you are at all interested in calendars, dates, and time, then there is only one place to go Fourmilab's Calendar Converter.

If you spend a little "time" with this page, you will become even more convinced how relative Time is. How we determine what to call "today" is based on many factors, some religious, some cultural, some astronomical, and some even depend on which computer you ask, or which program. Read on, it will help you put the word "late" into perspective and you may relax a little. It's all relative.


All of the JavaScript programming which handles the calendar calculations, and some of the text are the product of John Walker, founder of Autocad, who wanted it to be in the public domain. If there are any pure techies reading this, you will definitely want to View/Source and wonder at the beauty of his code, and the copious comments, some delightfully wry and deserving to be enjoyed.
