Yahoo Time Capsule
The Yahoo Time Capsule is impressive in all aspects; the use of Adobe Flash is outstanding and the concept in which was founded by Jonathan Harris is worth reading.
I took a minute and submitted a text version in the Now category. I am now part of the online history, I “have helped create a digital legacy of our times, a mosaic of revealing snapshots that will be sealed and entrusted to Smithsonian Folkways Recordings based in Washington D.C., officially taking its place in history.” Be right back, let me add one more to the Yahoo Time Capsule before the deadline (12 minutes 24 seconds as of this writing and counting down).
Submitted 2nd contribution in the Faith category.
A buddy asked long time ago why I write blogs. I gave him a smile but didn’t reply to his question.
When web logging was introduced, the web community flourished with thousands of new bloggers. The concept was brilliant so entrepreneurs established an improved technology and social networking was born. Now millions of people began to blog online with many purpose.
I began blogging with two purpose in mind: let my readers (friends and family and visitors) to know a little bit of what my interests and I wanted a diary. As cheesy as it may sound, diaries are actually fun and can be a rewarding activity.
Two, five, ten years from now, I would love to return back to the blogs I’ve typed in the past and try to recapture the particular time in which the blog entry was written. I like to ponder why I even wrote such story and blog publicly online, and even reminisce of the time and events. It would interesting to read on stuff about what and how I felt, experienced, thought, and liked during that time, an online diary.
Let me give you a good example. November 2004, I wrote a blog entry titled, “Kevin Is Most Thankful For…” The blog was written two years ago from now and after reading the entry, I can clearly recapture the event that took place just prior to the blog. We were having a potluck Thanksgiving dinner at Sarang college ministry and one of the sister had a clever idea to collect a thanksgiving note from everyone. She then kindly asked me to post it up on the ministry’s website and after doing so, I went over to my site’s blog and wrote that particular blog.
Another note I want to mention are the changes in me after reading the blog. I was very excited about God and both blog entries on November 2004 was about religion. It seems that I haven’t written a single blog about my faith quite recently and it is something I really missed these days.
