The Secret Gestural Prehistory of Mobile Devices

Super cool blog alert - Secret Prehistory - http://secretprehistory.wordpress.com/ - with a mission statement of:
The Secret Gestural Prehistory of Mobile Devices is cultural anthropology. It seeks to recover those moments of intuitive prehensile dexterity, when the famous and the ordinary alike felt the unconscious desire to occupy their hands for an as yet unknown purpose.
With Secret Prehistory Pictures Such As this from 1969:

Bloggers suggest to readers that interactions with their blogs helps everyone. It's true. Take some time to give back to the blogging community - especially if you are a regular to a website. This one or any one. Thanks.

Apocalypse Then

Unless you have been living under a rock the last 24 hours, you are aware of the `once in a lifetime' Earthquake that struck the east coast yesterday; and the once in four decades one that struck Colorado (and I imagine that the 2012 and World Ending sites are going nuts today). Let's certainly hope that it was the coincidence of coincidences, right? Nonetheless, below is a scene of the results of over the top events - like the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake:

IMO, as we approach 2012, we will see more and more `excitement' in the writings of the `believers' in 2012 being the end of the world, or at least of mankind's backwards consciousness. This college student is one example Are We Moments From A New Earth? -  which frankly, I'm at least a little surprised that UFO Digest would cover such dribble. Barf Stew.
