My resolutions for 2009<\/a> involved reading good stuff and being more social. More or less they were successful. I read fulfilled the reading goal<\/a> by October. To fulfill the social goal, I attended most of the BrunchBunch, Athens Flickr Meetups, Athens Strobist Meetups, and even lunches with coworkers. These were by and large successful.<\/p>\n

So, in thinking about 2010, my intentions for this year are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Read 12,000 pages.<\/strong> Unlike last year, I am not going to restrict the type of content except to say it must be in a book. Magazines, blogs, and news do not count. If they did, then I’d make the goal in a couple months.<\/li>\n
  2. Learn to cook 20 new dishes.<\/strong> Considering I don’t cook, this is by far the most ambitious resolution. I’ll need to buy a cookbook.<\/li>\n
  3. Participate in Project 365<\/a>.<\/strong> (tips to get started<\/a>) I considered 365 Days<\/a>, but I don’t think I am up to daily self portraits. This is a Flickr group where people post daily submissions for every day of the year. I’ve previously failed this one, but I made it to 99 photos<\/a>. Will be interesting with just an SLR and a bad phone\u00c2\u00a0camera.<\/li>\n
  4. Have fun now not later.<\/strong> I haven’t visited the local state parks or much in Atlanta or even taken a personal trip. I keep procrastinating expecting it to be better later, making me an exemplar of Procrastination of Enjoyable Experiences. (Also Carpe Diem? Maybe Tomorrow<\/a> in NYT)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    There lots of other things in the back of my mind for things I ought to accomplish this year.<\/p>\n
