Great work Kevin, and everyone else involved in Long Now!

For those who aren't familiar, Long Now is a non-profit dedicated to long term thinking (on 10,000+ year timescales).

Fun related fact: Neal Stephenson's involvement in Long Now also led to ideas in Anathem. Excellent book, which has a fun long term clock idea in it.

In particular, a clock with a 10,000 year cycle.

It's one of my favourite books.
