Predictions are no fun if you don’t check back and see how you did. Am I a prescient predictor of future events? Let’s find out:
Okay kids, there’s an Apple event coming up, and you know what that means: an endless torrent of predictions about what will be announced. And as you probably already know, I’m a total sucker for predictions, so here’s what I think is coming:
After several weeks of work, I am happy to announce that my JavaScript Jeopardy site is now open for business. It’s basically a proof-of-concept project to prove three things to myself:
- I can program

I’ll try to include suggestions for PC users when possible. The rabbit hole begins after the jump…
