This post has been scheduled for 1 year and is meant for the eyes of one man, and one man alone, Adrian Vender.
The following email should have hit his inbox about :15 seconds ago which reads:
Dear Future Adrian,
If all is well, then we are both deep in the SEO thing, Google still has over 60% market share, Google Glass is a real thing that everyone uses, and there has NOT been a machine takeover which has destroyed the world as we know it. If any of this is not true, please email me a swift kick in the junk to remind me how I have veered off the path, need to come back. And may this email serve as the same to you. Chances are though, that you are a huge internet success, so I am not concerned.
1 year ago, to the day, you introduced me to this website which allowed me to send emails to the future. Well, that set a chain reaction into motion so that when this email arrived at you, a blog post would go off into the digital world which contains really important information for your eyes only, to save humanity (not exactly, but that would have been friggin awesome!!!)
Anyway, please visit http://digitalhighrise.com/adrian-vender to see the page that has been created special for you.
Don’t forget your awesomeness. Never forget that epic day when you shared this. And may The Force be with you.
Sincerely,
Aaron

This is sort of like a little time capsule so I will make a few additional predictions for myself:
- We have seen the shake-ups from Panda and Penguin. I suspect in many ways this is going to alter how things are done in the future (where I am writing to you)
- Entities will become MUCH more prevalent in the Search engines and part of the algorithims/user experience.
- I have seen from some of the conferences that I have been going to, that there are some wildly talented people. I have every intention on being a part of many more of them.
- Around the Summer (June / July) I plan on relocating my family to Israel (WOAH! I know right 🙂 ) Might not have a job there yet, but im not so concerned. I can consult till I find an awesome company that I want to work at.
- I will be back at a comfortable weight and be better about controlling what I do and eat. Eccercize will be a top priority.
- Animated .gifs will still be awesome
If all has gone as planned, then this will have been a major success. If this has failed, well, then we should all start questioning the relationship between space and time right now… whenever now really is #headexplosion.
See you in the future,
Aaron
