The Doomsday Vault: Preparing for the End of Humanity

Posted by Matt in December 15th, 2007

The bank will have dual blast-proof doors with motion sensors, two airlocks, and walls of steel-reinforced concrete one meter thick. It will contain up to three million different varieties of seeds from the entire world, ‘so that crop diversity can be conserved for the future,’ according to the Norwegian government. Seeds will be specially wrapped to exclude moisture. There will be no full-time staff, but the vault’s relative inaccessibility will facilitate monitoring any possible human activity.

‘Cooling down’ begins at Svalbard Doomsday Seed Bank

Refrigeration units began pumping chilly air deep into an Arctic mountain cavern today, launching the innovative and critical “cooling down” phase of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in advance of its official opening early next year as a fail-safe repository of the world’s vital food crops. Svalbard is now three days into the three-month “Polar Night” period when there is 24 hours of complete darkness.

To The Death Bloopers
The greatest parts of 'To The Death' that couldn't make the actual movie out of time restraints, general stupidity, mistakes, off topic topics, and plain old messups. Enjoy!

Why Vote? A response to the "5 Friends" Ad
NOTE: I posted more or less this same talk as a "riff," but I think the length and excessively off-topic first few minutes of that video, as a riff, probably work against it in the general population of viewers on youtube. So this is one I'm posting to get straight to the point and to maybe be a little clearer. If you have watched both and are reading this after the fact, I'm sorry. On voting in the presidential elections, MTV and numerous other interest groups unanimously give American youth and young adults the same message: "Do it." In school we are raised to consider it both a right and a privilege as law-abiding free citizens. Socially, abstinence from the process as seen as a sign of either irresponsibility, apathy, laziness, or even ignorance. But how often do we ask ourselves,...

WWDC 'Get a Mac'
WWDC 2006: While not strictly a part of the ad campaign, Hodgman and Long appeared in a video prior to the keynote at the 2006 Worldwide Developers Conference. Hodgman's character, PC, claimed to have a message from Steve Jobs, in an attempt to stall Mac development. He starts to go off-topic about his vacation with Steve, but when Mac arrives he says he's just preparing for the next ad and starts to sing the Meow Mix theme song off-key. The Get a Mac campaign is a current (2006-present) television advertising campaign created for Apple Inc. by TBWA, the company's advertising agency. Shown in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, the ads in the campaign have become easily recognizeable owing to the fact that each ad follows a standard simple template:...

US Government Immorality Will Lead to Bankruptcy
The Comptroller General of the United States proclaims that our current standard of living is unsustainable unless drastic action is taken. He warns that funding shortfalls for the Medicare program is five times worse than Social Security, and it will take $8 TRILLION to pay for what is promised today to beneficiaries, of which we have ZERO! This unrealistic "promise" is fiscally irresponsible and is mortgaging the futures of our children and grandchildren. Watch as the federal government's dirty little secret is revealed!

Schindler at the 2005 NorthPark Expansion!
RATING: G, for families. No need to flag. Please give this video a 5. Part 2 of my three-part "Out with the old, on with the new" series. Riding down on a 2005 Schindler escalator at the Nordstrom wing, and riding up on a 2005 Schindler elevator (which goes to Mall Floor 2 or the rooftop AMC movie theater; it's near the on-site park) at the NorthPark expansion in Dallas, Texas. This expansion not only added a food court to this mall (finally), but also a new movie theater, and in the middle, an open-air grass park called CenterPark! That used to be the parking lot near the old General Cinema; it's weird no longer having to drive up to the covered mall entrance near Neiman's! (After Googling up the NorthPark website, hover over on the left side "The NorthPark Experience", click on...
