Time capsule suggestion request

We are closing in a part of the house soon that will not be accessible until the next owner rip open our ceiling. Give us suggestions of what we should leave up there.

We considered a CD-ROM of this blog, but by the time somebody rips that ceiling down, *.html will be a forgotten piece of history. Be mindful of the format of the media or items we leave there.

What story should we record there? What do we want curious minds of the future to know about us, our time, the place we live, what we do every day, what the world looks like to our eyes. Pictures? Stories? Be original, we are already planning magazines and newspapers. What is special that you think we should store.

Think and post your ideas. We need them.

i will brainstorm and visit this post to comment as i come up with good and bad ideas. so far -
blog fodder (i think blog stuff is good - in print via CD or USB or whatever)
video - if beta and VHS can be transformed, so can DVD into the 'next generation' of video
'08 presidential campaign stuff - any newspaper, magazine, whatever on both the dem and rep candidates' efforts
your sideburns - or what you have discarded of your sideburns in a little tin box sealed with bandaids of sesame street pics or other kid icons.
some tools - those that likely have no other useful life.

more later (maybe)

how about putting the bills of your remodel in the time capsule? don't pay the bills until you take them out of the time capsule. (btw, i am a friend of shirsld.)
