Ten years ago on 12/12/12 a group of friends gave a curious TED talk (including a rare appearence in our world by the Shaggles):

The film playing in the background of the talk can be seen here:

Some select inspirations leading up to the talk:

Over late night pizza by the Intracoastal waterways, washed down with root beers and perhaps some real beer, the group of friends decided that a creative ritual delivered on 12/12/12 could perhaps avert the cataclysm that awaited our world on 12/21/12.

Scientific analysis indicates that perhaps a cataclysm was averted(?) but somehow reality itself may have been reshaped. A lot of really intense and amazing experiences and stories followed what we did on 12/12/12.

A message to the future lies embedded with the surrealistic ritual. Classic yo-yos await those brave enough to find it. Greater rewards await those who imagine and create and go down their own paths. If you can’t find it, it will also be hidden within the Hour Blue.

Note: The Shaggles are creatures that evolved from the food and debris left on the floor of a touring space bus, across its many years of travelling the galaxies. One day the space bus was swept clean, the crumbs and goo falling onto the fertile ground of a forgotten planet. Many millions of years later, the Shaggles emerged from the primoridal rock and chaos.
