I recently wrote an article for the Frankfurter Allgemaine on Hillis, whom I
know somewhat... see http://www.goertzel.org/benzine/Hillis.htm

Subject: MEDIA: Thousand year chime
Great article in the Guardian (UK newspaper)
http://www.guardianunlimited.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,473654,00.html
It's about a clock built to last 10,000 years and only chime once every
thousand years (designed by Danny Hillis) to give a wider perspective on the
concept of time. Ironically the article makes me think the Singularity is
coming faster than I might have previously thought :)
