Five hundred days

On January 22, 2010, I will publish a full assessment along with notes on future actions. There may be a PowerPoint presentation involved. Or perhaps not.

Five hundred days is, I think, the perfect planning period. It is at once both brutally substantial and dreamily fey. It’s a multiple of ten - which possesses even more specific gravity than a multiple of five (which, by happy arrangement, it is also). Five hundred days is a long enough period to accommodate tasks of grave importance - things that will definitely take time to accomplish - but whose endpoint is not so distant that it vanishes into the haze of “someday.” Small wonder that this time span is popular with government agencies whose responsibilities range from national intelligence to public health.

This is all by way of announcing that the publisher of Waveflux has launched, as of early this morning, a five hundred day plan (sorry: a Five Hundred Day Plan) which, if successful, will bestow benefits on…well, the publisher of Waveflux, to be certain, but also, perhaps, the wider world as well. The plan will not be divulged at this time, I’m sorry to say, but some specific aspects of it will be revealed on this weblog over time. Indeed, as some parts of the plan involved the makeup of the blog itself, future changes in Waveflux will provide evidence of the plan in action.

On January 22, 2010, I will publish a full assessment of the plan along with some notes on future actions. There may be a PowerPoint presentation involved. Or perhaps not. It is a little early just now to say.

(Special thanks to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for providing material for the 500 day image used in this post.)
