The Long Now in San Francisco

One of the highlights of my recent time in California this autumn was a visit to the Long Now foundation.

These are the chimes of the 10,000 year clock; a clock which should be able to keep an accurate time for the next 10,000 years. It should be maintainable with bronze-age technology, possible to determine operational principles of the clock by close inspection and improvable with time. A real example of long term thinking.

Keep your Panton


Went to the great Verner Panton Exhibition at the National Museum of Singapore. My favourite was this amazing piece of furniture that you could climb inside - sadly weren't allowed to take pictures of it despite M's best efforts.
