  • A long time ago I decided to stop making New Year’s resolutions. I instead made goals. I felt like this was more attainable and a better fit for the human condition. I didn’t punish myself for missing a goal, I just readjusted until I tried to attain them.

    2023 ended and I found that I wasn’t even thinking about goals for next year. I do have a physical goal of losing weight and getting more fit, but I’m not going to put metrics around it. I just want to generally feel better. Aside from that, I didn’t even think about what other goals I should have in 2024.

    Not too bad for goals, no?

  • 2013 is a mere 13 minutes away. I am sitting on my couch in the house we built in 2012, polishing off a second glass of @diosatequila cafe caramel flavor.

    I sense that this year will be a transition for many in the computing world. (Well, hell. When is it not?)

    I don’t have many resolutions, except that I want to get more of my creative self back out there in the world. I really need to get it moving. I am not getting any younger.

  • It’s 2011. It’s probably time for some New Year’s Resolutions, so here’s the obligatory post.

    First, let me speak a bit about 2010. 2010 was an interesting year. I label it a year of transition because there was quite a bit of that. If 2010 had an overall theme, it was definitely “transition.” I transitioned in many areas:

    • Professionally, in deciding that if I had my way about it, I’ll never work with Windows again.
    • Personally, in discovering that I’ve been doing a terrible job at taking care of myself.
    • Spiritually, but not in the classical sense. By this I mean learning more about myself and others.

    This is a personal blog and so therefore I’m only covering areas that are personal. Those of you who know me know that there have been multiple transitions in the family as well, albeit standard. (“My how the kids have grown!” “Wow, will that two year old ever stop talking!?”)

  • So just in case you are wondering if I’m conscious of the New Year… yes, I am.  Believe it or not 🙂

    I have just three resolutions this year and they’re quite personal.  I’ll share them with you, intrepid reader, since you can keep a secret.

    • Do better at maintaining my temper, blood pressure and sanity.
    • Sleep better.
    • Lose 80 pounds by last December 2009.

    Think I can do it?  Who knows.  I have a gym membership, so I’m armed.
