Time Capsule

From ThorxWiki

Nemo has a timecapsule...

In fact, when he was 12, he created a small one. A simple envelope with a photo, handwritten list of things I liked and friends... It was set to be opened a massive 18 years later! In the far-off time (from the perspective of 1987) of 2005!

Come 2005, and opened it was - for my 30th birthday. (TODO: find the abc news article about it! :) But better than that, a new capsule was created. Larger, and with contributions from many friends. This has a window of 12 years - to honour the original, but also so it can be opened when I'm 42! :)

2008 and I am planning a second "layer". Mainly because after it was sealed in 2005, I subsequently got a late arrival (photos of the 2005 party, I think). So I solicited letters from friends... nothing big, just enough to go in a manilla folder beside the original. Late 2008 and that will be sealed.

I'm subsequently toying with the idea of a rolling update... perhaps every 6 years adding a new capsule, to be opened after 12 (or 18?) years...
