        07/29/10
        The Long Now Foundation is an organization formed in 1996 focused on long-term slower/better thinking, as a contrast to our current standard of faster/cheaper thinking.

        They are here to help fix the world.

        03/12/10

        In 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear power reactor had a meltdown. Years later, a documentary has been produced to make aware the potential dangers with nuclear energy.
