A building that will last 100,000 years →
How do you build a structure of that permanence. Most of what we build is destroyed or catabolyzed in much shorter time spans. This building for storing nuclear waste brings about a new temporal relationship between man and nature. It is a challenge for the ages, quite literally. It will take over 100 years to actually build the facility so no one working on it now will probably be alive to see it...
Recording DVDs
Remember when there was DVD+R and DVD-R? Those days were confusing, no one knew which burner their computer had. Macs were usually DVD-R. PCs were all over the place and a lucky few had dual burners.

In this case the people to be specific are the multitudes of pedestrians who have to cross a major highway and are forced to walk through quite a significant amount of water. This intersection in Syracuse, NY has 4-5x the state average in pedestrian accidents....
Steve Jobs: "Death is Life's Best Invention" →
