2 – 0 – 1 – 3 . What? yes not long to go now and we are officially inside the future.  I don’t know what that really means, but imminently folks will be vacating their desks and minds, and walking into an awkward family dinner.

Another saga of a world on the brink of ..here are 3 random predictions for 2013, in absolutely no particular order:

1. Sock Buddies. RFID tagged socks that find their missing partner for you.

2. Smart Bathrooms.  Increased bathroom sanitation including hygiene friendly ergonomics, ubiquitous self-cleansing, and sensor enabled doors so you don’t ever have to touch an infested handle again.  Ok maybe this is just a little pipe dream.

3. Acid Jazz.  Making a big comeback (at least on my stereo) only this time surely it will be called something else.  Afternoon Yacht-funk?  Downtown-Drill  Delight?  I’m not really bothered about labels, as long as I start hearing K&D on commercial radio.
