Today was a good day for me in terms of predictions.

First, Prediction #1 for 2009 came true — that iTunes would go DRM-free — during the keynote at Macworld. Yes, that’s one prediction true, 6 days into the new year.

Then I also found out that I was Hubdub’s News Pundits Tech Pundit of the Year for 2008. The award, which yes, I get a inscribed trophy — a quaich — for, was given to me for my solid showing on predictions made last year on this blog. I beat out some pretty solid competition.

I plan on bringing the quaich to every party I go to from now on and drinking from it like the pompous ass that I am.
