What do all of these have in common? It’s history in the making…
Yahoo! is conducting the world’s largest anthropological experiment. Since October 10, Yahoo! has been accepting submissions for its online Time Capsule, the first ever of its kind.
Brainchild of artist Jonathan Harris, the Yahoo! Time Capsule is an attempt to create a mosaic of our culture, a “portrait of the world” in 2006, defining who we are, what we are doing, what moves us, and where we wish to go, right here and right now.
People worldwide can contribute photos, video, drawings, and writing to the Time Capsule within the categories of Love, Anger, Faith, Fun, Sorrow, Beauty, Past, Now, Hope, and You. Participation in the Yahoo! Time Capsule Blog is also welcome, and can enhance the experience of this monumental project.
While researching for a piece covering the Yahoo! Time Capsule, ABC News producers came across the photograph submitted by Photoblogs.org Hall of Famer Jonathan Greenwald. Jonathan was interviewed about his submission…
…and discussed the impact of his photo, and if he thinks societal problems such as homelessness will have improved by time the capsule is reopened in 2020. His interview can be seen on the ABC World News Webcast with Charlie Gibson.
The Yahoo! Time Capsule is still open, and contributions are being accepted until November 8. Do not miss your opportunity to be part of history, and submit your photos today!

Thanks for the plug, Chantal. The interview was about 25 minutes and I thought I had several profound things to say. I was susprised they used that segment of the interview. I must say I was fairly nervous. =)
If you go to http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/, click number 5 for Jimmie's photo. It was also featured in the segment. The original post can be found on his pblog,Cornershots.
