A little poking around shows that this is supported by the Long Now Foundation. They always write dates with five digits: 02010. They are trying to build a monument called the clock of the long now, which is meant to last 10,000 years.<p>If you read the article about Brian Eno yesterday then this is another example of his influence in all manners of things. He sits on the board.<p>I admire the foundation if only due to the scope of it's ambitious endeavors.<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Now_Foundation" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Now_Foundation</a>
