hi harold/others,

great to hear from you. I am preparing a more detailed plan, which I will send on wednesday at the latest as some more reactions are beginning to arrive (please use the forum for this, so everyone can keep track).
 Roughly the idea is to form a webring on a preset time and date and convey a message by email around the globe along the Fogg route. For this purpose Spokane might be a bit to far north, but hang on. Just like Fogg and Passepartout we might have to improvise to achieve our goal.
I'll keep you imformed!

    Hi,

    as a science editor of the dutch newspaper De Volkskrant I am preparing a project in which I will recreate Foggs trip around the world, only not in 80 days but in 80 seconds. This will result in a full page feature article in Verne style, to be published on the last day of the year.
    For this I am looking for Forum members and other Verne fans on the Internet who are more or less on Foggs route. If you are interested I will send you our plan in details. The trip around the world in 80 seconds will take place somewhere the nex two weeks. Please take part in this modern time adventure.

    I am looking forward to your reactions.
