Today's Webtip: Manual For Civilization

The Long Now Foundation is prepping for the apocalypse.

Tales of the post apocalypse have been popular for quite some time now. As a child of Reagan I have to admit I'm always a bit surprised that those stories are still just fiction.

But I have never been pessimistic enough to actually plan for it. Unlike some others.

While most preppers are concerned about immediate and short term survival, some people are thinking more long-term.

It's one thing to survive the end of civilization, and quite another to actually plan for rebuilding it. But that is just what the Long Now Foundation is doing. They have been putting together a collection of texts that might be useful in getting things rolling again after a worst case scenario.

Their collection is called the Manual for Civilization, and you can read all about it at the Long Now Foundation blog.
