The Mayans couldn't predict their own demise!!! We're all gonna be grand.

I’d be sadder about this, but odds are the battery on my Swatch Paparazzi is going to be completely dead before then. That, and I picked it up off of eBay for $20.

The battery is dying in my 3rd SPOT watch so a few months ago I got a Casio G-Shock Solar WWV watch to replace it. Now the Abacus SPOT watch sits on my desk hooked to it’s USB cable and beeps at the top of the hour. When it beeps too far out of sync with the Casio I take it to lunch with me so it can sync back up with the local FM station (it gets no reception at my desk.)

I used to be able to take it home and it would sync with the Microsoft Campus FM signal but alas they packed that up last year.

I definitely give Kevin brownie points for the Mayan angle.

This is kind of ironic as I just pulled out and resurrected my Suunto n3i. I miss the spot service.

No bonus points for trying to work in the Mayan calendar? ;)

Heh. Nice try, but the Mayan Apocalypse isn’t until Dec 21st, 2012 :-)

(though, some scientists have claimed that that’s a misinterpretation of the Mayan calendar, and the end of the “long year” isn’t until 2022 or something)
