Can you post the project file? I'd like to edit the highlights on most of the holidays, and print it out, as my family doesn't celebrate most of the modern holidays. Like Christmas, Easter, and Valentines Day for example (If you look into the origin of the holidays you'll understand why)

Nice result. As a side note, you can share SVG files here if you zip them first. :)

Great!
But I think the background image is the Aztec calendar, not the Mayan :mrgreen:

Doesn't the Mayan calendar stop at 12-12-12? Since this rock we're on is supposed to be toast after that date?

Although I'm down for the more scientific approach that it'll be another few hundred billions years before that happens and that will be when our sun starts to run out of fuel. I'm sure by then we would have found a way to get off this rock and on to another one!

You mean 12-21-12 MrBiggz. lol

Also, I don't think human being Homo Sapiens will exist then. By then, there would be pretty much only cyborg or robotic beings in our place. The Terminators won. ;)

The Mayan calender actually doesn't end it just starts over every 26 thousand years or so.
Personally i would be more worried about blackouts from solar flares than anything else.It is supposed to peak in 2012.I am going to stock up on canned good and fresh water.Just in case the electric goes out for a few months.
