2012 Review

My blog is about http://www.2012theblog.com. It interested me because for some reason prediction that the human race as we know it will cease to exist in 2012. This could mean that somehow the human race completely dies or, or that somehow the human race will transcend to another plain of existence. Either way I would pick the latter of the two.
It appears to have been around since early 2008. The guy posting on it really seems to believe the end is coming. So what he does is try to present multiple possibilities of how the end will come. His recent blogs are very long reads but the ideas are far enough out there to keep people sucked in. The amount of material and the once a month postings leads me to believe that there is only one blogger. The blogger seems to do a bunch of research for these blogs and presents the information he has gathered as evidence to back up his claims. So the topics seem to be blogged about it a almost scientific way; supporting claims with evidence. . This is most likely because the blogger's intended audience are people who do not believe in the "end." He may also be intending on sharing information he has gathered to extend it to others who do believe. It's somewhat hard to figure that out. An interesting note about the topics; just about every post is about a different subject relating to the main topic of the blog. The blogger has a small blog roll related to his topic
I assume that due to the infrequency of this sites updates that it has a hard time getting readers to comment about the postings. Alot of the comments are coming from christians telling people that they need to save their souls through god and other crazy things. A number of posts dispute the others claims in a mocking way as well as almost making fun of the blogger for being "scared."
So with that all being said i thought it was an interesting blog. A bit freaky to think about but that's what all of this sci-fi can warp peoples minds in to taking a simple idea and warping it in a way to make it sound true.
