Monthly Archives: December 2008

It’s that time of the year where everyone reflects on the previous year and commits to promises to oneself.. so here are mine. In many ways 2008 will be a tough year to top – despite some of the global economic wildfires and the renewed flare ups in the Isreali-Palestinian tinderbox, it’s been a remarkable year. Who would have thought 2008 would be the year I got married, conceived a son, and even saw an electron with my own eyes. Professionally, 2008 was a terrific year – I started off slowly but quickly transition into a career working with terrific people focused on scaling and monetizing social media and gaming. Awesome.

So here’s my list of resolutions in 2009:

  • Blog twice as much as I do now :)
  • SXSWi – missed the last 2 years.
  • Find at least one new exotic tea in China.
  • Be conversational in Mandarin.
  • Travel to at least one country I’ve never been to.
  • Zazen.
  • Video blog with baby Ian.
  • Hit the gym at least 4 times a week, like I did in 2007.
  • Produce an alpha version of a super-secret project of mine.
  • Convert 10% of my energy usage to renewable.
  • Buy a new non-suburb home.
  • Read at least 2 quality books a month.
