    About this sampler: These selections were assembled to highlight some of the interesting things that emerged out of the first Capsule Day, many of them unanticpated. Most of the cuts between one scene and the next are examples of possible hyperlink "jumps" between one person's thread and another's, showing different ways material may be related (location, spoken content, activity, theme, etc.) While this is only a tiny fraction of each person's submission (and we weren't able to include everybody, sorry), it should give some idea of the possibilities inherent in this project.
