What is one of your weirder projects you want to do just for the love of your discipline?

I want to figure out a WordPress plugin to use Mars time for a blog. Step one could be to convert time to Sols, but step would be to convert Terran time to the Mars 24hr clock.

    That gets fun since mission specialists on Earth set their clocks to tick seconds that are 2.7% longer than normal and they stick to that timing while on duty. They take “solidays” off to readjust to the regular planetary time.

    I have no connection to @NASA or the Mars projects. But someday, someone will need a Mars-timed blog and I want that problem to already be solved for them.
