   In the context of home machines, no. Except with email, and then it is   
   usually the received headers that I have to analyze. I don't have access   
   to the logs of other machines.   
      
   However, you can have syslog generate the entries in the UTC "time   
   zone", and convert the logs to another set in whatever other time zone   
   you wish. Or configure the clients to also use UTC.
