2008 Overall Goals (ie: Resolutions):

  • Determine my career focus Just started my new full-time position as a Web Developer
  • Ski 30+ days Jan-May Got in all my skiing needs during the season!!
  • Reduce Balance on Credit Cards to zero by June now probably Nov
  • Lose weight to achieve goal weight of 185 lbs (~30lbs to go – Christmas did not help)
    • 20lbs to go – going home where lots of home cooked meals are provided does not help
  • Attend a Video Games Live concert. I still need to document this awesome experience.
  • Continue keeping Inbox @ zero. No more than 10 emails ever in the inbox last six months ;-D
  • Get rid of anything I don’t need (give to goodwill or auction off on ebay) In time for the move in 2 weeks
  • Vox once a week or 50 times (these include only substantive posts with real content)
    • Not sure exactly how many I’ve completed (approx 19), but definitely behind schedule.
  • Complete first professional version of tranbonium.us, and my personal site stevetranby.com
  • Finally for once and for all determine and organize my online identities (merge and split where necessary)
  • Enjoy each and every day! Enjoying it for sure! Still a whole 5+ months to go though.

2008 Development Goals: I didn’t really do well here, I guess I had too much fun outside enjoying the weather that Colorado has to offer.  I really should Vox about some of that stuff, eh?  Plus with the new job and a few trips I didn’t take the time to research anything in particular.  I hope that work actually lets me get back on schedule.

2008 new years resolutions and goals

I have been thinking about this upcoming year of 2008 and what I would like to accomplish. Similar to a list of resolutions, I have some goals I thought I’d share to make it more real and give me a sense of accountability I’d otherwise not have. Unfortunately most of my goals are really 1st half of 2008 since I can’t comprehend next fall yet. And I’m sure these lists will only continue to grow.

2008 Overall Goals (ie: Resolutions):

  • Determine my career focus
  • Ski 30+ days Jan-May
  • Reduce Balance on Credit Cards to zero by June (Loan payments kick in then!)
  • Lose weight to achieve goal weight of 185 lbs (~30lbs to go – Christmas did not help)
  • Attend a Video Games Live concert.
  • Continue keeping Inbox @ zero.
  • Get rid of anything I don’t need (give to goodwill or auction off on ebay)
  • Vox once a week or 50 times (these include only substantive posts with real content)
  • Complete first professional version of tranbonium.us, and my personal site stevetranby.com
  • Finally for once and for all determine and organize my online identities (merge and split where necessary)

2008 Development Goals:

  • 1st Iteration of my development operating system. Create a VMWare image to share.

I’ll keep you posted on how I’m doing with these goals through limited Vox posts, twittering, and info on my actual websites.

What are you all going to do for this upcoming year of 2008?

Happy New Year Everyone!!!!!
