Happy New Year Hacker News, what are your plans for 2011?

I'm curious what you're planning on doing in the next year, my plans are to (1) get a reprap and make some stuff with it and (2) to move to a place that is a bit more in touch with humanity.

What are you going to do?

I lost my job a few weeks ago (company I was with went bankrupt). I'm planning to transition to doing more python contract work while learning haskell and more AI.

Wouldn't mind finding a start-up to work with if something interesting comes up.

Get out of the office (well, my apartment) and get in front of some potential customers and start soliciting feedback. Use Steve Blank's Customer Development Methodology.

Spend some serious time researching the competition in this space; figure out how my vision fits in with Microsoft Sharepoint... am I building a Sharepoint complement or a Sharepoint killer (so to speak)?

Decide if there's going to be a SaaS model for this stuff, and - if there is - what goes into it, and start exploring building out the SaaS version (probably on Amazon's infrastructure, but we'll see.)

Depending on the results of some of the above goals: Maybe find a co-founder to work with. If things go bloody smashingly well, maybe look for investment dollars.

Eh, there are goals beyond that, but I don't want to project out to far, because I've never been terribly good at predicting the future. "Close a sale," for example, would be a nice goal. But I don't know if it's realistic for 2011 or not.

I am going to build and release an app/project every month in 2011. Have wasted enough time on HN and reading my RSS. Have read about lot of cool things that I wanted to build stuff with.
