Part 1 - launch https://www.neuralobjects.com - we're getting close to being able to launch at least a closed beta, but still a lot of work to do.

Part 2 - (re)-launch many of the existing Fogbeam Labs products under a SaaS model. We'll still do "on prem" if somebody calls wanting it, but going SaaS is definitely first priority.

Part 3 - add some more new products to the catalog. Not much I can (or want to) say about that now, but I think we're going to be able to do some cool stuff.

And, as a corollary to all, and ultimately the most important goal - get some paying customers! 2017 is the year we get serious about sales.

(Aside: we were there around the end of 2014, and then I had a heart attack. That kinda derailed everything, cost me most of 2015 from working on business stuff, and just generally killed any momentum we had back then.)

2016 was a fantastic year for me.

My plan for 2017 is simple... do even better than I did in 2016.

Consistent small improvements are the name of the game. Read up on it... James Altucher and Seth Godin talk about it.

I want something very simple: being able to manage my time in a way that allow me to have a balanced life. Too often I over-did something (programming, drones, etc) without considering my physic/mental health. So this year will be all about small changes, small improvements.

My main goal for the next few weeks/months is to play with Arduino hardware, and see if I can do interesting things.

In addition to that I need to learn to be a good parent. I expect that will be much harder, but also more rewarding.

1. Learn content marketing & growth hacking.

2. Grow Metriculator - https://www.metriculator.com to at least $1000 MRR.

3. Improve my understanding of Functional programming, Elixir & Phoenix in order to contribute to Metriculator's backend development as well.

4. Start meditating (at least 5 minutes per day).

Automation of the little things. Shortcuts.

I've started using hammerspoon on the desktop to shortcut things like window resizing and arrangement has reduced cognitive load.

And on the command line im starting to alias a lot of common commands.

Docker for many things command line. No more losing time to library dependency hell.

Git precommit hooks to run code linters on my files.

Most importantly push myself to make the behavior change to remember this stuff.
