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.
