Develop a non-work life, if only for balance. I'd like to expand my ruby skills, too.

Eat healthier and become more active. I spend way too much time sitting on my ass.

For the year 2010 I plan to finally release a constant stream of documentation, both text and videos, along with numerous screencasts.

There's no point in having cool technology if it's not easily accessible, easy to learn, and demonstrable. There's only so many times you can have one on one conversations to get the wow across.

I just wish writing documentation didn't take so long, and video shoots didn't eat up whole days. It's so much nicer to work on a new feature than to re-shoot a section of a code demonstration what often seems like 100 times.

My "plan" for 2010 is to make a lot of ambitious goals, fail on most of them, but accomplish some good regardless.

Also, I am pretty sure that I will have my first amateur Muay Thai fight. I'm excited about that.

1. Write an academic paper (getting one published would be cool, but let's start with things within my control).

2. Get my research project up to where I want it.

3. Sweet Internship in a sweet city *

* sweet city matters because I'm going to be 21. Work hard, play hard :)

My most important goal for 2010 is to create a partnership with a co-founder who is fun to work with, and who has the skills I lack, and begin working together.

Existing things: MobileFolk - my current project / startup. Swim, run, workout. Keep learning Spanish and practicing guitar. Read books.

New things: Learn basic Romanian. Meet more iPhone (and Android) developers in the Bay Area and in / around Toronto / GTAA - always looking to grab a beer or lunch :). Learn more about market research (you can never learn enough).
