Introduction to the Doom

I can't say how this blog will end up, and I can't say what the end result will be, except that I intend to make fun of 2012 Doomsday prophets along the way.  In the interest of full disclosure, I don't believe a word of it.  December 21, 2012 will be another ordinary deep winter day.  Still, it's fun to pretend, right?


There are a pile of kooky 2012 books lying on my desk right now.  I've skimmed and read some of them, but I may need your recommendations for others that I may miss in the course of this blog.  For example, I have:

• The Mystery of 2012 - Predictions, Prophecies & Possibilities by Gregg Braden, et al.
• How to Survive 2012 - Tactics and Survival Places for the Coming Pole Shift by Patrick Geryl
• The Great Shift - Co-creating a New World for 2012 and Beyond by Lee Carroll, et al.

There are a wide variety of ideas out there, all devoid of any research, citations, or evidence whatsoever (except for citations to their own previous work).  All of these ideas revolve around one thing:  In 2012, something is going to happen that will change everything.  That is what all of them can agree on.  How it changes, on the other hand, nobody can seem to agree on.


That's why I'm leaving it up to you.  You get to decide your doom.  They are all equally plausible.  They are all equally backed by evidence.  And as a bonus, I will fictionalize each of the 2012 scenarios as if they were completely true!


I will attempt to update this blog with a largish post about once a week, with smaller, off-the-cuff posts whenever I think about them.


I look forward to the next year of blogging.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
