   Rich knowledge of the past confers, with the proper heuristics, rich
   knowledge of the future.  Paul Saffo embodies that.

   "Embracing Uncertainty: the Secret to Effective Forecasting," Paul
   Saffo, Cowell Theater, Fort  Mason, San Francisco, 7pm, TONIGHT,
   January 11.  The lecture starts promptly at 7:30pm.  Admission is free
   (a $10 donation is always welcome, not required).

   Note:  There will be a reception at The Long Now Museum and Store
   following the talk, just 70 yards from the Cowell Theater, in Building
   "A" at Fort Mason, right next to Greens Restaurant.

   This is one of a monthly series of Seminars About Long-term Thinking
   (SALT) organized by The Long Now Foundation.

   Message from Rick Prelinger about contributing to his SALT presenation
   next Dec. 19, titled "Lost Landscapes of San Francisco":

     If you have material that might find a place in the next "Lost
     Landscapes of San Francisco" show or in our broader collection,
     we'd love to hear from you.  Quite frequently we can cover the cost
     of transferring film to videotape and making DVDs, so that the
     material becomes newly accessible and can take on a new life.

     Fundamentally we are interested in all kinds of film that have
     long-term evidentiary value, which means especially home movies,
     amateur film, industrial and advertising film, and sometimes
     educational film and documentary.  We don't do anything with
     feature films -- others are taking care of them.

                     We can be reached at [5]rick at archive.org

   You can find a glorious sampling of Rick's historic film material
   [6]here at the Internet Archive.
