the unveiling

And we’re back! The site is live again, now with 100% wind-powered Fatcow hosting. New hosting, new theme (I think it’s a lot cleaner, don’t you? If you’re reading this through your feed reader, you should come check it out), new plans — it’s going to be a fun year.

Goal the first: I’m going to be doing Project365 with Lauren — an image a day for a whole year. No promises regarding quality :-D I will likely post all the pictures to my new Picasa account, and cross-post them between here and tumblr.

2nd Goal: Read 50 books. I first started keeping track of my books this year, and made it almost to 40, so 50 shouldn’t be a huge stretch. I had a drought in spring and early summer due to some massive life upheaval (new job halfway across the country can do that to a guy).

Goal #3: Compete at least once a month in a coding/algorithm competition, whether it’s TopCoder, Code Jam, or whatever else I might find. Even if I don’t officially participate, follow along and do the problems anyway.

Fourth Goal: Join and regularly contribute to an open-source software project. The hard part: finding one I really want to improve.

Five: Ensure that some of those books I read (and some of the feeds in my feed reader) will enrich my understanding of Catholicism and of Christianity as a whole.

And finally, 6: Play my guitar a lot more often. Lauren got me one of these for Christmas, so that should make it much easier and more fun. If I get any good, I’ll record myself and post it up here, too!

I never know how to wrap up this sort of post.

    Yay you have good goals. Mine are silly in comparison, but that’s okay, that was on purpose.
