While we at Long Now are generally very earnest and diligent about our efforts in long-term thinking, we just can’t let a movie of this “quality” go by and not do SOMETHING… So on 3/11/02008 AD the staff and friends of Long Now will be attending this landmark piece of multi-milliennial retrospect. A few of us will wear gray Long Now baseball hats so that we can be found.
When? Tuesday, March 11th for the 8:00pm showing of
10,000 BC
at the Century San Francisco Centre (Bloomingdales mall)
835 Market Street, San Francisco, CA, 94103

PS: Don’t come if you are expecting a quiet movie going experience :)
I just got an update from David Rumsey that there will be a special event at the map museum in Second Life Thursday March 6th at noon PST.
MIT Tech Review is reporting that Long Now board member and mapping maven David Rumsey is launching his historical map collection in Second Life this week.
A new installation inside Second Life is bringing alive one of the world’s largest collections of antique maps. Called the David Rumsey Maps Island (registration required), the Second Life site is San Francisco map collector David Rumsey’s latest high-technology plan to share his collection with as large an audience as possible. (See “From Lewis and Clark to Landsat.”)
Rumsey has also given a talk in our Seminar series, and some of his collection is in the featured layers on Google Earth where you can see historical maps overlaid on modern geography.

The Sunday NY Times has a review of the second recent book about Stewart Brand: Counterculture Green.
Kirk’s book uses the genesis and evolution of Whole Earth as an opportunity to survey the sea change in environmental and design attitudes that emerged in the 1960s counterculture but, he notes emphatically, eventually outgrew it.
