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.

Haruhiism

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.

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.
