This is a legacy post written before 2013 . While the content has survived numerous site migrations and content management systems, some formatting and links may be broken. I've done my best to fix things under my control.

I don’t have any. Go figure. So, surprise me. I like leaving things open ended.

Well, we live in a world of speculators, people who love to try and beat the market before anything’s actually happened. My hope for this year is to be surprised, again and again. Surprise the speculators and send the rumor mills packing. Try something new, like Canvas. Break out of that shell. Thrown on some CSS3 with a sprinkle of HTML5. Leave IE6 behind for good.

Oh, I can make one prediction though, albeit personal. You’ll be seeing those eggrolls soon and a bunch more. I’m sure that’ll please certain eggroll addicts.

Avalonstar is the 25-year-old personal website of Bryan Veloso: streamer, professional user interface designer, hobbyist developer, lifelong gamer, and compass of purpose.
