Thinking about moments that’s special and heart-warming gives us the experience and meaning of life. And won’t it be better if we could kinda of keep these timeless moment in a jar and bury them in a jar. The moment jars allows us to keep these personal moments in a collaborative limited edition book. It’s indeed an artistic endeavor and an articulation of hope. So what’s your special moment? Maybe you can find someone who has a similar moment as yours.

Since August 2005, We Feel Fine has been harvesting human feelings from a large number of weblogs. Every few minutes, the system searches the world’s newly posted blog entries for occurrences of the phrases “I feel” and “I am feeling”. When it finds such a phrase, it records the full sentence, up to the period, and identifies the “feeling” expressed in that sentence (e.g. sad, happy, depressed, etc.). Because blogs are structured in largely standard ways, the age, gender, and geographical location of the author can often be extracted and saved along with the sentence, as can the local weather conditions at the time the sentence was written. All of this information is saved, and now it’s being place into an interactive book.
Simply amazing documentary that showcase the vision of volvo.
