The start of a new year seems to turn everyone into a fortune-teller.  So not to disappoint:

• The last prediction in this list will turn out to be wrong.
• 2011 will be the 24th consecutive year with repeated digits, and 2012 will be the 25th.  Enjoy it while it lasts — 2013 will have four unique digits.
• Someone will predict that [Disaster D] will strike [Location L] on [Time T] causing [Consequence Q] and that person will no doubt be [Religious Fanatic X].
• Most of us will get a little older.  Life will get better for some but not for others.  Sadly, the gap between the haves and have-nots will increase.  Some will wring their hands, others will shove them in their pockets.  Several will hand over their wealth to help.
• The first prediction in this list will turn out to be right.

As I was consulting my oracle for these predictions, I discovered this page (which I predict you will enjoy), a concise and compelling photo-essay of the flow of time.  If nothing else, writing this blog has led me to some rewarding reading.
