I'm developing a simple service that converts timezones. Yes, I know this already exists, but the difference will be in the details.

I'm looking for a fun and remarkable (domain-)name for this app. Something around clocks, times, dates, timezones, different locations, etc.

I thought it would be cool to ask you guys as a kind of experiment, and hopefully something great will come along. So HN, could you help me out?

I remember a speech by PG on how the number of startups is increasing. Are there any numbers to back that up? Trend or government reports? Anybody have some data on this perhaps?

I suppose most front-end developers/designers heard of this problem before: too much CSS and Javascript files and too much declarations in 'em. After a while it gets hard to find your way around all the classes in there and add or fix things. Next to that you might scratch certain server-side code and forget to update the client-side bits. We tried to fix this by creating a lot of different CSS/JS files but sometimes certain declarations span across different site sections and you end up looking for them in the wrong place anyway.

How do you guys combat the mess you automatically make in the front-end? Do you use frameworks like Blueprint or perhaps SASS? I still haven't found any structure or convention that kind of forces me to do it DRY and neat, like for instance RoR has done for me. Maybe it's time to create a standard for this, or just to create some naming pattern to map front-end code to server-side? Or maybe that already exists?

Any thoughts?

(I hope I didn't explain this too vague, I'm trying hard not to)
