On the last week of each year on this blog I make predictions about the coming year. I invite my readers to do the same. This is a recap of those predictions and how accurate I turned out to be.

Toy Story 3 will be the top movie of the year, Iron Man 2, the A-Team, and Harry Potter will also be in the top 15 – Toy story was #1, Iron man 2 was #3, Harry Potter was #6, The A-Team kept me from perfection on this pick by finishing #37. I’m pretty pleased with this however.
The Dow will be higher at the end of 2010 than at the beginning – I know the year still has 3 days but this is going to be correct
There will be 15 e-book readers on the market by the end of 2010 but still no major publisher will release DRM-free books. So I will not buy one – there are at least 25 on the market although only the Sony, Kindle, and Nook have any market share to speak of. No major publisher has released a DRM-free book. I don’t own one. I’m right on all 3 accounts.
The health care bill will not become final before May and by the time I write this post next year there will still be millions of uninsured Americans – It passed in March, but has yet to actually come into effect. I was half wrong here
The Twitter stream will have ads in it (not just spam) – Wrong on this one. No ads in the stream. Promoted tweets on the homepage but no ads in stream.
USA will be no better than 3rd in the medal count at the winter Olympics – Happily wrong about this one. USA finished first.
Kentucky will be in the Final 4 – Sadly wrong about this one
The finale of Lost will be mostly satisfying – I guess this one is a matter of opinion but I was mostly satisfied
I will not live in Kentucky at the end of 2010 – Colossal fail on this one
I will weigh less at the end of 2010 than I do at the beginning – I don’t know what I weigh today, but there is no question it is less than a year ago

By my count that makes me 10-6 (.625) in predictions for the year. I never claimed to be a prophet or the son of a prophet, but it's fun to see how well I did.

Only one reader, Ryan, was brave enough to make predictions last year. Here are his results

UNC will make it to the Sweet 16 – Didn’t even make the tourney
The Panthers will make the playoffs (Season starting August 2010) – Wow was this one wrong. The Panthers are currently 2-13
Matt Moore will (should) be their starting QB – I’ll give you half credit for this one
I will get a girlfriend – If so you have been awfully secretive about her
Apple will release a tablet that will be beautiful looking, but no one will buy it, because what the heck is it for? – iPad released, iPad beautiful, iPad sold millions, everybody has seen one in the wild. You are 2-3 on this one
The newest Twilight will be in the top 10 for movies, for some stupid reason – Twilight #4 = correct

I'm saying Ryan is 4-5 (.444)
