From the Ted Talk by Cesar Kuriyama: One second every day

Unscramble the Blue Letters


So the first of those projects ended up being something I called "One Second Every Day." Basically I'm rrideoncg one second of every day of my life for the rest of my life, cnorlahoollcgiy compiling these one-second tiny slices of my life into one single continuous video until, you know, I can't rceord them anrmoye.

The purpose of this project is, one: I hate not rmbemrineeg things that I've done in the past. There's all these things that I've done with my life that I have no recollection of unless someone brings it up, and sometimes I think, "Oh yeah, that's something that I did." And something that I realized early on in the project was that if I wasn't doing anything interesting, I would probably forget to record the video. So the day — the first time that I forgot, it really hurt me, because it's something that I really wanted to — from the moment that I turned 30, I wanted to keep this pcjreot going until forever, and having missed that one second, I realized, it just kind of ctaered this thing in my head where I never forgot ever again.

Original Text


So the first of those projects ended up being something I called "One Second Every Day." Basically I'm recording one second of every day of my life for the rest of my life, chronologically compiling these one-second tiny slices of my life into one single continuous video until, you know, I can't record them anymore.

The purpose of this project is, one: I hate not remembering things that I've done in the past. There's all these things that I've done with my life that I have no recollection of unless someone brings it up, and sometimes I think, "Oh yeah, that's something that I did." And something that I realized early on in the project was that if I wasn't doing anything interesting, I would probably forget to record the video. So the day — the first time that I forgot, it really hurt me, because it's something that I really wanted to — from the moment that I turned 30, I wanted to keep this project going until forever, and having missed that one second, I realized, it just kind of created this thing in my head where I never forgot ever again.
