Resolutions for 2006

Lots of people are making New Year’s resolutions right now. Something about the list at Not Guilty made me decide to do my own:

Windypundit’s New Year’s Resolutions for 2006

1. Same as everyone else: lose weight. I lost a bunch of weight in the first half of this year and then gained a bunch of it back. I weigh less than I did a year ago, but not by as much as I’d like.
2. Take a lot of photos with the D200, learn a lot of photography. I enjoyed it a lot with my Z3, now that I’m buying a more expensive camera, I really better enjoy it.
3. Sort my photos more regularly. I don’t like to sort through them right after I take them because they usually aren’t as good as I imagined. But if I let them age a while, I lose my preconceptions about them, and many of them surprise me. The problem is that I’m falling behind. I have unsorted photographs going back to July.
4. Blog more, and blog more consistently. 2005 was the year my blog begain to take off. Maybe I can make 2006 even better.
5. Take more pictures for the eminent domain series. I think it has the potential to attract attention to this site.
6. Launch my new website. (More on this in another post.)
7. Port the benefits export code to .NET. (Special private resolution for one of my clients.)
8. Get the house organized. I need to clean up and organize my office and my work area in the kitchen.
9. Finish several home remodeling projects that have stalled. Most importantly, put the 2nd bathroom back together.
10. Play more computer games.

Update:

11. Write more software for fun. All of the software I write these days is work-related, but I really do enjoy software development, so I should write some fun stuff that isn’t part of my job.
12. More catblogging. (Per spousal request.)
