We don’t seem to want to do that as much as we used too.”
– Dean Kamen

Long Now's website is changing...
Over the coming months, Long Now will continue to roll out more of this new website. This site is designed to work better across devices, and hopefully makes it easier to discover what Long Now is all about.
Parts of the site may look inconsistent, and some links may break while we work. We appreciate your patience, and we would love to hear what you think of the changes.
