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.
Work on Pixels is coming along slowly... very slowly.
The Nooze is still up and running. It will still be a book titled Only Yes, Turd Day, named after Only Yesterday, a history of the 1920s. This will be 2020s. The site started in 2024 and I'm getting Nooze from 2020-2023 from Wikipedia rather than the news.
I posted a very nice copy of the US Constitution at mcgrewbooks.com, not that anybody in the government has any respect for the Constitution at all. I also posted a hundred fifty year old hymnal. Both were quite a bit of work, partly why not much was done on Pixels. That, and cataract surgery on my other eye. $2500 plus Medicare, Google says cataract surgery is free in Canada, but they aren't fascists up there like we are down here.

Last years’ stupid predictions (and more):
Last year I predicted that the new novel, Pixels, won't be anywhere near done by this time next year. Bingo! But I have no clue how much will be done by this time next year.
This year I predict a Democrat landslide in the midterm elections, but I doubt if there will be enough Patriotic Republican Senators
to remove the convicted felon from office. I hope I'm right about the first and wrong about the second.
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.
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?
