You may or may not have heard of Yahoo’s project to beam a digital time capsule into space. On the capsule’s official website, Yahoo is collecting pictures, sounds, words, videos and drawings that showcase our world in one of the ten categories that they have chosen: Love, Anger, Fun, Sorrow, Faith, Beauty, Past, Now, Hope, You.
The first thing I thought of as I read about this was Haruhiism. As a faithful follower of Haruhi-sama, I hereby declare that I will make it my personal duty to ensure that the eventual time capsule will contain at least one copy of the Haruhiism logo.
I shall document my project in this entry.
Now first of all, getting the Haruhiism logo in is NOT as straightforward as submitting it as a picture or a drawing.
By “picture”, Yahoo is referring to actual photographs shot by the submitter. They are also pretty uptight about copyright issues. As for drawings, Yahoo provides you with a primitive sketch area that you have to draw on instead of an upload function. Even though the Haruhiism logo is a relatively simple picture, this will still do no justice to Haruhi’s greatness. If I am going to do this right, I’ll have to somehow do it through pictures submission.
The first thing I did was to try submitting the logo as a picture under the “Faith” category (no, really). But alas, I got rejected as expected. I decided to experiment with the system by submitting some more conventional entries, such as this, this and this, all of which were accepted within minutes.
Yes, that person is me
My visit to Hakone last year
Now, it seems to me that the time capsule has a pretty low entry requirement, as long as the submission looks reasonably relevant and was created by you. Based on this observation, I have formulated a plan to get Haruhiism included in this time capsule that will hopefully be received by alien lifeforms such those sentient pure energy guys from Yuki’s hometown.
The details of this awesomely brilliant plan will be revealed tomorrow after the preliminary test of my hypothesis. Please check back for this potentially earth-shattering event that will possibly go down in Haruhiism Gospel. Maybe.
Good Luck! ^_^
WTF
we also need a FFF logo to put into that thing
You know, it’s people like you who make our county seem less of a threat.
Keep up the good work.
Thats the most noble mission some one can take *sniff* finaly someone realizes whats important, we need haruhiism for world peace!
Go Go The Paper!
You’re the hero of otakus worldwide if you do succeed.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry; on the one hand, it’s absurd enough for me to appreciate, and on the other, it’s otaku and haruhiist enough for Mr. Miao to appreciate.
CAN MY PRIDE WITHSTAND THIS?!!
Wow, that’s a nice idea.
I hope that you’ll manage to put it there.
lolikit, join us!
I think I’ve effectively sworn myself against Haruhiism, though. :\

WHY do love Haruhi so much?
Well the only reason it wasen’t accepted right away was because Haruhi was still skeptical about your choice of items, don’t worry Haruhi still loves you. Also Yuki already knows about us, so it wouldn’t matter to much if they were to find it :P
