I’m debating whether I should create yet another blog that’s more like a journal. At least that would let me concentrate on tech-related things here.
Anyways, since I haven’t really gotten around to that yet, this space will have to do. I need to write down my new year’s resolutions.

• Waste Less Time: Try to spend less time doing things that amount to nothing. This is intentionally a very broad resolution. The point is to minimize that feeling after you feel like you’ve just wasted the past [insert amount of time] doing nothing worthwhile.
• Be more aggressive about buying things that enhance my life: It seems aside from the basic necessities, there are two kinds of purchases. Purchases that somehow expand or enhance your life experience, and those that don’t. I’ve spent a lot of time the last year regretting the fact that I hadn’t been more aggressive in former type of purchasing. Whether it be adding another monitor to my setup, or buying a printer, or a DS Lite, or a cellphone, or a digital piano, and on and on. I’ve just sat and waited, and to some extent I feel like I’ve missed out on things.
  There’s a certain joy to being at the front of the technology curve. But there’s also a lot you can learn from it. Keeping yourself exposed to all the latest stuff, understanding the current problems, etc, are all important aspects of keeping yourself relevant as a technology developer.
  So this resolution is about trying to be less trigger-shy when it comes to things that will help me stay ahead and broaden my experience.
• Corollary: Waste less money on things that don’t matter: This is just the flip side of the previous item. Actually, the two combine into a single mindset of being more conscious about why I’m buying things.
• Keep in touch with people: There’s so many people on my various buddy lists that I talked to for maybe a year or two of my life, then dropped. It’d be nice to reconnect with them, and try to keep something gonig.
