Mayan Calendar Resources

If you're curious about the Mayan calendar that's based on the human cycle (called the Tzolkin), there are two easy resources that I recommend. Click here for the best website I've found for finding out what your Mayan "sign" is and for looking at the calendar in a way that's recognizable. There is also a fantastic Mayan calendar app for the iPhone that's easy to use and easy to understand! One tap gives you the information for the day. Click here to give it a try.

To enter website #1 you have to know your exact DOB - which I apparently don't know - cuz when I enter my known DOB it doesn't work. So I thought - maybe my exact date of birth is actually today - so I tried that and it didn't work. So - do you know what date you're supposed to use? Signed, Too Busy Today to Soul Search

Hmm, that's strange. You should be able to enter a year, day, and month and have it tell you your corresponding Mayan sign. I just tried it again and it worked - maybe it's a browser thing? I'm using Google Chrome...

This is not Mayan, but it's something the teenagers around here (who have lots and lots and lots of free time) have researched on Google: August 2010 has 5 Sundays, 5 Mondays, 5 Tuesdays, all in one month.

It happens once in 823 years.

I thought of you when they told me that little calendar factoid!

Oh, Anne, I love odd seemingly useless facts like that! But you know it has to mean something! Kids can always sniff out the important stuff...

I wanted to email you privately, but I can't find an address for you anywhere :( Anyway, I'm working on a blog post I like to call "The One In Which LDS Women Take Over the World," where I'll be highlighting LDS women who are new to the YA scene. I just wanted to make sure you are LDS before I include you in the post. If you haven't got a clue what I'm talking about, feel free to ignore this comment :) But do check out my book review blog, anyway: www.blogginboutbooks.com . You can email me at blogginboutbooksATgmailDOTCOM

Thanks!

I am another follower who is unable to find another avenue in which to contact you. I was wondering if you would mind if I did a book review for 'Prophesy of Days' on my little-known blog? Just so you know, I loved the book! And maybe, a little later, I could interview you? I'm just throwing that out there for you. I'm sure you're a busy lady. If you're interested, please email me at Cinette5@hotmail.com. I figured since you were my first follower, it would be only fitting you were my first book review!
