receptacle of time

Calling all archivists (hello Catherine, the only person I know that has been carting around a giant pvc rocket shell to "one day" bury as a time capsule). You all should check out this:
The Yahoo Time Capsule

"For 30 days, from October 10 until November 8, Yahoo! users worldwide can contribute photos, writings, videos, audio — even drawings — to this electronic anthropology project. A mosaic of revealing snapshots will be sealed and entrusted to Smithsonian Folkways Recordings based in Washington D.C., officially taking its place in history."

You can view my entry here. Forever recorded until some future intelligent being sifts through the thousands of entries and finds mine. By then we'll be making flour in a lab and the top soil will have long blown off the Alberta prairies, leaving behind the great "Canadian Shield Desert".

I thought I'd leave something for posterity too. Go! Leave your mark.
