Happy New Year!
It’s that time to look back at the year’s past and, take what we’ve learned, and direct ourselves into where we want to go in the future. Put simply, let’s get to those new year’s resolutions!
I’ll stick with my usual lot of eating better, exercising more, saving money, and making more time to see friends. But I have a few more to tag on for good measure.
First, I want to keep on the guys at work for getting me involved in web development. I want to be working in that department full time by this time next year. Ideally to the point where I can do my work remotely, from home or anywhere. The goal is to be able to stay gainfully employed by the time Ashley gets her teaching license next year so that I’ll be free to follow her wherever she may go with it.
I also want to continue working on this site. Last month, I set myself up with the challenge of making five posts per week. I was inspired by a job listing looking for a game reviewer that had that as one of it’s requirements. I’m proud to say that I’ve been doing a pretty good job so far! I may bend the rule a bit by counting any day that I work on the site, not just writing posts. I’ve been reading up on how to manage a site and possibly capitalize on it. I don’t expect to make any real money (if any), but I would like to prove to myself that I can do something significant with it. Though it will be hard to top David Sirlin’s comment here.
Those are my biggest resolutions. I have tons of minor things I’d like to improve upon myself, but those are key. The only other thing I can think of is playing more Street Fighter. Even if I only play single-player like a loser. With all the hype around the franchise next year and the game room events at Animazement, I’d like to stay somewhat fresh.
Happy New Year, everybody! See you in 2008!
