Best work day ever

Oct 26, 2006

I’m a little drunk from the tequila shots so my typing might be slippy. Tonight we had the big live event for the Yahoo Time Capsule. As the Jemez indians performed sacred dances and music the red rock canyon walls in the Jemez Pueblo lit up with images and words from the time capsule. Four images side by side each almost filled the 175 feet high canyon walls.

It was beautiful. All these pictures of people with their families, pets, babies, sunsets, love, love lost, anger, fun and hopes from all over the world in multiple languages left me awed. I wish all the people that uploaded stuff could have seen their pictures on the canyon walls. I felt so proud of the human race.

I teared up watching it. I did an uncharacteristic thing and spontaneously hugged a co-worker in my jubilation and awe. We’d only met in person the day before. All these every day slices of life from people all over the world with the same hope and anger that I know in Dallas, TX. I hope in 2020 we still have the same unity.
