I’m no Zarathustra or Nostradamus, and i’m a bit lazy, so i’ll leave off the predictions. Resolutions are possible, though – the only thing we can hope to control is, possibly, ourselves.

Last year i made some, and forgot about them immediately. Now i can check whether i realized them (doh).
Let’s see:

  • Professionally – yep, did most of what i wanted to do. Could do better on the AI front.
  • Personal: sheesh, not so good.
    • Didn’t go anywhere (except a conference in Berlin)
    • didn’t do either singing or wood working. Started doing Ashtanga yoga though, happy about that.
    • I am marginally less shy, but i expect that’s just continuing the trend of these last 33 years.
    • This blog is doing OK, but with lapses.
    • Let’s not even get into the really personal stuff, that would only be depressing.

Ahum.
OK, I’ll make new ones … one can only try.

  • get a haircut (start small …)
  • really travel this time. I’m working on a paper for a conference far, far away. If that fails, i’ll just book a trip anyway. As a matter of fact, i’m going to do a Last Minute before starting my new assignment, in a couple of weeks. Yeeeeeehaw
  • stick my nose into mobile applications and pervasive computing
  • expand my social life (in more than one way …)
  • keep things interesting generally – seize the day

That should work ! Bring it on.

    Professional: yes, personal: no. Well – one out of two isn’t bad at all. :-)

    I like your resolutions. I have no hope of controlling myself, so I don’t even try, but I commend you on your choice of goals!
