The Mountain and the Clock
by Jeremy at 1:35 am EST, Jan 19, 2004

As we spent more time climbing to the cliffs and hanging out on and around them, they rewarded us more and more.
They taught us this: most of the amazingness of the Clock we can borrow from the amazingness of the mountain.
The more we highlight and blend in with the most spectacular features of the mountain, the more memorable a Clock visit will be for the time pilgrims.

It's a Mountain Clock.

Stewart Brand and Danny Hillis set out to visit the future home of the 10,000 year clock. This is the story of their journey.

If they build it, will you be a time pilgrim?

this is totally awesome. i had lost track of the long now folks, after reading about them a few years back, and i'm very glad to hear that they have maintained the project.

the account here reads like an adventure story, promising something vast in scope, epic and exciting, with hints of mystery and touches of danger.

unless it requires scaling a sheer cliff with my bare hands and no ropes, count me in.
