In a year...

Where will you be? What will you have accomplished? Matt is always asking the hard questions. I haven't thought about this in a while, mainly because three years ago I had accomplished all of the goals that I had come up with as a kid. That was a very unique feeling. It was so weird, that I took three years to enjoy it :) During the three years, I set one goal, I have yet to reach it, but I think I may actually make it in November. I am going to keep that one private, because I don't want to jinx it.

  1. I want to have an impact on an open source project in a positive way. Working with it on a continual basis.
  2. Teach my kids some Algebra. You think 10 is a little to young?
  3. Communicate with my wife better. I don't like having "half-way" conversations with her, while trying to work or play on the computer.
  4. Grow professionally. Strengthen my programming skills. Stregthen my leadership skills. Work to be just a little bit more courageous in my day to day work life (IE Actually leave my chair and talk to management).

Wow, that is some list. I can't wait to look back and see how many of these I have accomplished.
