It's Mayan Time.
Anyone looking for a Gregorian to Mayan calendar converter?
Because we all need one, right? I'm on a Mac, so I haven't yet tried downloading the glyph, clock and font files.

"Well there goes my Monday productivity," says the closet calendar geek. "Rockin' link and addictive too!" *wiles away the hours comparing dates

2012.

2012. Heh! Thanks for reminding me that one, Nostril. Why some assume that Mayans stop making their calendar reaching December 21st, 2012 A.D. is a sign that that is the date of the end of the world. It's like assuming that my Joke-a-day calendar marks the end of the world where it ends providing me with new jokes... oh shit!

This is the most decent try at explaining the reason why the mayan calendar ends in 21, Dec, 2012 that I could find. Interesting. I even confirmed the conjunction ocurrence using Celestia (self-link).

Interesting links, though I have no idea what to do with the calendar-gadget. Thanks, Cali.

Here's another look at the solstice (self link) on Starry Night. The Sun is moving towards the lower left, between the Triffid and Lagoon nebulas, and the two bright lines are the ecliptic and galactic equator, while the exact moment of the solstice was about five hours earlier, on the 18h line. What's interesting is the symbolism we place on moments like these, and how those symbols can make real-world changes. The 2012 winter solstice may be important and earth changing simply because a great number of people expect it to be, and act as though it matters. I expect synchronistic events, not to mention general kook behavior, to peak during this time.

Well, its Mayan time again, I know you're leavin' I can see that far away look in your eyes..... I totally hate it when well-meaning monkeys trigger some lame assed song that will stick in my head until.....until....I...wipe it out by singing 'To Sir, With Love' and eventually the drugs kick in. I blame the media.
