I found a funny trend in movies these days, especially those concerning the end of the world. Perhaps you’ve also noticed this, but the best way to explain the end of the world is to use a fruit. This got me wondering, why use a fruit as THE go to end of the world metaphor?
A while back I posted on people to step up as future leaders for the IHC site. This concerns the post-2012 apocalypse scenario. Now, however the candidates have been chosen. The world is ready to choose the best of the best to represent us as a new world leader. To create a new community. To help us strive as a new civilization. 2012 is now… or wait what? These people are going to be our leaders. Oh, hell no!
2012 is just around the corner. For those not familiar with the 2012 theories here it is in a brief “omg why haven’t heard of this before” manner: MAYANS, PLANETS COLLIDING, NEW SPIRITS, TRANSCEDENCE, DOOMSDAY. If you’re still not clear, go Google 2012. However, the end of the world opens up some concerns. Who will rise as the leader of the new world?
For all the Twitter geeks out there, you will most probably know of the Twitpocalypse. It trended like crazy for the past few days. It details the failure of Twitter applications due to a reach of an integer. It is similiar to the Y2K bug, and phenomenon. People were going crazy over nothing really. Yes, it was a concern for the developers and indeed some apps were affected, but c’mon the whole hype was just ridiculous. (more…)
