Digital time capsule project.

Okay, so in that last post I forgot to mention the project that turned me on to Jonathan Harris in the first place: Yahoo! Time Capsule.

He worked with Yahoo! (How annoying is that exclamation point? Very.) to build a site where users can submit text, images, video and sounds that reflect human nature, based on a few general themes: You; Love; Anger; Fun; Sorrow; Faith; Beauty; Past; Now; Hope.

The cool part? The contributions will be digitalized and beamed with a laser into space on Oct. 25 from the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan, now an archeological site near Mexico City.

I'm probably going to submit something... not sure what yet. Probably, I don't know, some quick video I put together chronicling the greatest achievements in the history of mankind or something.


The site - minimalist, responsive, intuitive.

Here is a random selection of the stuff soon to be beamed into space. And please - don't panic. The extraterrestrials will find out about unicorns.


Sorrow: Picture 8373. From a female in CA, United States.
The unicorn has been spotted and will soon succumb to the senseless wrath of ignorant man.


You: Drawing 10260. From a male in his 20's in KL, Malaysia.
I Hope that this fiction will be reality in the future, and modern Holy Grails such as Intellienge Aliens, Time Travels, Anti Gravity Cars will be discovered by then.


Fun: Picture 10265. From a female in Phillipines.
Fun is one lazy afternoon spent talking and laughing with my sisters.


Hope: Words 8653. From someone.
I am from China, now here in UK.

And the best thing, in my opinion, we'll be telling these otherworldly beings?...

Fun: Picture 9881. From someone.
dance. you'll feel so much better.
