New Blog

My new blog is linked on the right. I still need to add a few things to the page like the blogroll and maybe a few other links. While this blog and archives are on my webspace, not Blogger's, for some reason the comments people post seem to get saved on Blogger (owned by Google) and I don't trust Google hosting anyone's free speech.

It took me a while to figure out a color scheme on the new blog. Since my artistic flair can be outdone by a lab rat, it took some time to find a blend of colors that, to me, looked like they went together. Happy reading!

Predictions for 2007

I was right on several of my predictions for 2006; namely 1, 2, 3, 8, and 10. I have no way to verify 7 and I was wrong on 4 and 9; well half-wrong on 9 I guess and half-right on 1 depending on how one looks at it. Numbers 5 and 6 can be counted as correct but they hold true for any year and are not unique to 2006.

I am not going to do another predictions list for 2007. With Democrats in control of Congress, it will be too hard to predict. I do know that US companies will not stop sending jobs overseas, there will still be poor people, terrorists will continue to hate us, and that Bush will still be blamed for things like natural disasters and using his Langan-esque IQ to manipulate the world petroleum market. While the latter is unique to the post-2000 election, the former have proven to hold true no matter which party controls Congress or is in the White House.
