It’s that time of year again. The time of year when everyone and their dog waxes nostalgic about all the shit nobody cares about from the year past, and stupidly predicts the next year in the grim knowledge that when the next New Year comes along, nobody will remember that the dumbass predicted a bunch of foolish shit that turned out to be complete and utter balderdash.
I might as well go ahead and do it anyway. Just like I did last year (yes, a lot of this was pasted from last year’s final chapter).
Some of these links go to /. (these would be old stuff), S/N, mcgrewbooks.com, or mcgrew.info.
I bought another domain last December, nooze.org. That makes four now. It will be a book in 2030 or 2031. Now I'm working on a sequel to Journey to Madness.
As usual, first: the yearly index:

Last years’ stupid predictions (and more):
I predicted for the second time that I'd publish Random Scribblings Volume Two. I did.
I’ll just hang on to most of last year’s predictions, except that I predict that the new novel, tentatively titled Pixels, won't be anywhere near done by this time next year. I hope I'm wrong.
Someone will die. Maybe you, maybe me. Not necessarily anybody I know... we can only hope not.
SETI will find no sign of intelligent life. Not even on Earth.
The Pirate Party won’t make inroads in the US. I hope I’m wrong about that one.
US politicians will continue to be wholly owned by the corporations.
I’ll still be a nerd.
Technophobic fashionista jocks will troll slashdot (but not S/N). I have no idea if that one or the following held up, anybody been there lately?
Microsoft will continue to suck even worse than before.
Happy New Year! Ready for another trip around the sun?
