First, the more serious resolutions inspired by the tsunami tragedy:
- treasure loved ones and the short time we get in this life;
- give more;
- be more humble about the affairs of Man
Second, the fun ones:
- do a 3 minute free-dive (my personal best is a 2:51 dive in September, but I haven't come close to duplicating it);
- get barreled;
- grow, harvest, mill, and roast my own coffee;
- consistently throw a golf disc 120 yards;
- memorize the field marks, common, scientific, and Hawaiian names of the 50 most common reef fish in every developmental phase;
- write a distributed genetic algorithm;
- write a game for the Tablet PC
Third, the professional ones:
- "Get Things Done" between 6AM and 2PM;
- release at least two significant Web-based training resources;
- make at least the same amount of money I did this year;
- maintain professional competence in in C++ (/CLI!), C#, and Java;
- become professionally competent in Python
- evolve Pynk to the point where it's a reasonable way to program with a pen;
- release Pynk as OSS;
- evolve my shape-recognition library;
- implement a domain-specific language for mediating between OTA requests, business rules, and at least 2 major Global Distribution Systems (Sabre and To Be Named)
