I read a book called The Clock of the Long Now by Stewart Brand; it’s about a 10,000 year clock and seriously long-term thinking. I’ll do my part by placing a zero in front of the date to make it Y10K compliant. A one-digit mind-expander!`

What is AuntiAlias, anyhow?
AuntiAlias is a pun on the word antialias.
In computer graphics, anti-aliasing is the process of adding what seems to be blurry in-between pixels to smooth the image so it won't appear so "jaggy." The pun came about in the early days of Bryce, the 3D landscape software. Bryce's final rendering pass is anti-aliasing. On the software's support boards, I'd sign my posts as "Auntie Alias." I thought, "Hey, I'll make that into a screen name!" The 10-character limit resulted in this spelling you see here: auntialias.
