Time Traveler Convention

They must feed the students at MIT specially formulated brain food, because they keep coming up with ideas that are sheer genius, if they weren't so silly. The latest brilliant idea is to host a Time Traveler convention on May 7, 2005, 10:00PM EDT at MIT's East Campus Courtyard -- coordinates: 42:21:36.025°N, 71:05:16.332°W. There will only ever be the need for one such convention. That's the brilliant idea. Publicize the convention so that thousands of years from now, when time travel is possible (you've got to be an optimist), time travelers will converge on the time and place for the convention. As the convention gains notoriety through time, it will continuously grow, becoming more and more popular -- perhaps needing a bigger venue. On May 7, 2005, we'll know if the brilliant idea was really just a silly idea. If no time travelers arrive on May 7, 2005 -- then the date wasn't made sufficiently public -- so there's always next year. After all, if it's not next year, some year in the future will become the popular time for the convention.

Civil disobedience is called for

In an act of desperation, Tim DeCristopher chose civil disobedience to disrupt the bidding process that saw 149,000 acres of public land leased off to oil companies in Utah. The lease of the land to oil companies, to allow drilling, has been contested by many who wish to preserve the pristine land, located near Arches National Park, the White River, the greater Desolation Canyon region, Labyrinth Canyon, the benches east of Canyonlands National Park, Nine Mile Canyon, the Book Cliffs and the Deep Creek Mountains. It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
