What Will the New Year Bring?

You can count down to watch the ball drop — or count down with oracles and fortunes for a peek at the New Year! Here are my picks for the top 10 online prediction sites:

1. Bella Ball: a twist on the copyrighted Magic Less-than-nine, More-than-seven ball
2. Buddha Oracle: concentrate then pick a dot, whic will transform into a lotus with a cryptic reading
3. Dragon Predictions: toss a real coin and let Dragon interpret the results
4. Fortune Cookies: a calorie-free cookie and fortune!
5. Magical Smoking Head of Bob: also a variation on the magic you-know-what ball. Ask a Yes or No answer and receive answers in the familiar format
6. Oracle of Apollo: modeled on the classic Delphic oracle
7. Tarot Card reading from “What’s the Deal?” A fun flash-animated reading. It needs more graphics, but I like the upbeat orientation
8. Whack on the Side of the Head: click on Roger Van Oech’s head and paradigm-shifting card appears
9. Wishing Well: make a wish and toss a cyber coin, with a satisfying “plunk!”
10. Your 2008 Horoscope, from the always insightful Cafe Astrology
    

Happy New Year!
