In today’s Glens Falls Post-Star<\/a>, an article about the unearthing of a time capsule at Adirondack Community College. It contained a few random items–like a pipe (the type one smokes with) and plastic bags, plus lots of college memorabilia–from the year the capsule was buried, 1988.<\/p>\n

Okay, maybe I’m getting REALLY old, but to me, a time capsule has to molder for at least 50 years. Unidentifiable objects should abound. You know, a hundred years from now, who is going to know what an iPod is?<\/p>\n

So I started to think about what we should put in a time capsule to be buried for at least a 100 years. I started a list, with help from some of my colleagues, and invite you to add to it.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Ellen: an AM\/FM radio<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Dale: all my poetry, of course<\/p>\n

3. Radio Bob: an iPad<\/p>\n

4. Nora: an iPhone<\/p>\n

5. Sandy: a Twinkie<\/p>\n

6. David: a guayabera (trans: Cuban dress shirt)<\/p>\n

7. Jon: documents establishing the world wide web as open to all users<\/p>\n

8. Martha: all five pairs of glasses I need to get through each day (including bi-focals, transitions, computer bi-focals, etc.)<\/p>\n

9. Shelly: my kids’ artwork, including drawings of a rabbit and a house with my son’s girlfriend<\/p>\n

10. Julie: “The Girls’ Book of Flower Fairies”<\/p>\n

11. Todd: a Big Mac<\/p>\n

12. Tasha: my red VW bug<\/p>\n

C’mon, folks, we’ve got plenty of room. Pile it in there.<\/strong><\/p>\n
