"Live: From Home," or "Giz Predicts a Riot, or "Take Me Out to the Dance Hall"

You know, if there is another hurricane scare in this area within the next three or five years, I guarantee you no one will leave. Sure, weather prediction is about as pseudo-scientific as astrology, but when you convince 3 million or so people that they're better off on the road to nowhere than riding it out, most of them are left with a bit of a sour taste in the back of their mouths. I'm just thankful any damage around here was superficial.

This is a special weekend edition, so like other such posts, this one is void of all real content. I leave you instead with this gem from the Official Google Blog. It's a showcase for a predictive market system, powered by crowd consensus. Very, very cool.
