This is a bit of an experiment: it's a blog that will feature examples where folks got it flat-out wrong in predicting that things were going to go to Hell in a handbasket. I'm doing it for three reasons:
- It doesn't hurt to get this stuff on the record;
- I figure that I can flog some of the books/movies what have you via Amazon.com
;
- I feel like it.
The examples will range from the profound to the silly; essentially, whatever floats my boat. Also, not every case will be critical; I can think of some examples where the author was damned happy to be proven wrong.
Will you be linking these through your 'regular' blog?

That's the plan; we'll be tweaking the feed a bit, I think. This is all kind of experimental.

Despite my opinion of this endeavor I'm going to predict it to be an utter failure.
I await a post five years from now showing how wrong I am.

Would Atlas Shrugged qualify?
