"How do you become one of those time-conscious beings who visit and wind the Clock? Jeff Bezos has just launched a public web site, 10000-year-clock, where interested folks can register their desire to visit the Clock in the Mountain when it is finished many years from now. Bezos has said he will give some kind of preference to current members of the Long Now Foundation because the purpose of the Clock is to promote what the Foundation promotes: long-term thinking." It's kind of sad that the clock is on private property and in the hands of some business man. It would be pretty pathetic if he tries making a profit from its operation, or tries to make it in to a theme park.
