February 29 Time Capsule Box Set


By Rick Morris

In 2012, The FDH Lounge created the February 29 Time Capsule, filing away predictions from several FDH Lounge Dignitaries in the realms of sports, entertainment, politics, technology and more.  On February 29, 2016, we cracked open the Time Capsule for analysis and filed away a new one that takes us through 2020.  Our February 29 Time Capsule Box Set contains our original analysis of the 2012 predictions, our review of them and our analysis of the 2016 predictions.
