Here are my obligatory New Year’s Resolutions. These are my personal ones, what I’m doing for myself. I’ll also have a set of professional resolutions, what we at IBM call “Personal Business Commitments” or PBC’s. I still need to develop those for 2009.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Exercise at least 30-minutes every day. Unlike every other January when I said this, this time I’ll actually do it. Really. Honest.<\/li>\n
  2. Eat better: less saturated fat, more fiber, more veggies, more whole grains, etc.<\/li>\n
  3. Suffer fools gladly, or at least a bit more gladly than I did in 2008.<\/li>\n
  4. Learn how to use R<\/a> well. I dabble with it today, but I don’t really know how to use its full power.<\/li>\n
  5. Learn to program Python<\/a> well. Today I can write programs to do simple administrative tasks, parsing data, downloading web pages, etc. But Python is here to stay and I feel my life would be simpler if I knew it well.<\/li>\n
  6. Spend more time in the garden. With global warming, fuel prices, chaos in the Middle East, etc., it is absurd to eat tomatoes that have been shipped 2,000+ miles to my dinner table. I’m going to try to grow a substantial portion of the fresh vegetables that I eat.<\/li>\n
  7. Read Ulysses<\/a>, maybe twice.<\/li>\n
  8. Enjoy turning 40, but not too much.<\/li>\n
  9. Study a new language, something cool like Sumerian or Dutch.<\/li>\n
  10. Spend more time when taking pictures and less time in Photoshop trying to fix them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
