The entry below is classified as a LEGACY post, meaning that it was written (well) before the current version of Avalonstar was released. Although these posts have survived the numerous moves over years, there is no guarantee that they've survived the trip unscathed (especially the links).

2009 Design Predictions
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.
