Long Now's website is changing...

Over the coming months, Long Now will continue to roll out more of this new
website. This site is designed to work better across devices, and hopefully
makes it easier to discover what Long Now is all about.

Parts of the site may look inconsistent, and some links may break while we work.
We appreciate your patience, and we would love to hear what you think of the
changes.
