New Year's Resolutions for 2014
Making New Year's Resolutions is something I do every year. It's important to me. I like to set goals and see how well I do.
Resolutions
- Write and publish fiction. This is a childhood dream that I would like to do.
- Write and publish as least one new technical book, preferably on Python.
- Learn Haskell or some other interesting programming language.
- Figure out a way I can make money working in open source efforts. As a consultant, this explains why I don't do it more.
- Visit the two continents I've yet to see. That means Africa and Antarctica.
- See the Grand Canyon.
- Visit more family.
- Do 1000 push-ups or similar exercises in a single day. I'm at 300 now.

- Take a fun class with Audrey.

- Work less and enjoy life with Audrey more.
