So how did i do? I made some new years resolutions last year and now its time to check in on the forgotten promises that i made to myself.

#1 I am going to read more. FAILED! I think i read two books for fun all year long. The 15 O'Reilly books that i read cover to cover DO NOT COUNT. This one stays on the list for another year.

#2 I am going to paint more. FAILED! I painted one decent painting this year, and its not even finished. This one stays too.

#3 I am going to do more art/construction projects. PASS! This one is evident every time you walk into my office. I've got about 50 little stupid things that i've built. This one stays on the list, but i'm adding a little clause. "more art/constructions projects, that can be displayed in a gallery".

#4 I am going to get a job. FAILED! Nuf said.

#5 I am going to expand my programming knowledge. PASS! This one is too easy. I love learning new programming languages, so i just picked up a few books (the ones that don't count for reading) and bingo, i'm developing stupid little c apps. I also really dove into areas of PHP, XML, ActionScript (yuck) and even ASP (double yuck).

So overall 3 failures and 2 passes. So this year its just the same 5 and a couple more little ones.

Comments:

This is why I resolve never ever again to make resolutions. I'm especially sorry about your #4. There's an opening coming up soon for a programmer (works with our course websites) at UCLA CDH. I can pass the job description on to you once I get it.
