Goals for 2009

I recently became a believer in making oneself accountable for one’s goal by communicating them to others. I feel this blog is a good medium to express such things. Here is my list of goals for 2009:

Personal Development

  1. Blog an average of once a week. This means at least 52 blog posts; this is the second of this year (yes, I am counting “junk” posts).
  2. Read one book every two weeks.
  3. Continue to lift weights three times a week.
  4. Continue to practice salsa dancing at least once a week.

Technically

  1. Release the fitness application I have been developing to the public (more details to come).
  2. Build Wordisms to a satisfactory level.
  3. Become well-versed in information retrieval, information extraction and machine learning.
  4. Teach or tutor computer science to students (anywhere from middle- or high-school to college).

Career-wise

  1. This is a tough one. I’d like to be able to live in city. The most logical choice is San Francisco.

EDIT: Added item #4 to “Technically.”

  1. Great articles.
    I enjoy reading them.
    I just read about a page or 2 from your blog, but i already feel that what you are writing about is almost identical to what i am feeling.

    I like examples, so i will tell you what i meant by what i just said.
    “Where is the innovation in software” <–I totally can relate and feel the same that. Yes, there are way too many clones out there. (Even I, couldnt resist to create one just for fun and test my skills)
    [Check out my site http://www.tubays.com and I'd like your comments on it.]

    “The Paradox of Self-Education”<–I also have the same paradox everyday thinking that 40hrs a week working, where do i find times to learn other things that i am truly interested in.

    Finally, “Goals for 2009″ <–Like you, when 2009 came, i also made a list of goals like you.
    And I also broke them down into 3 categories. Many goals that i wrote them are just like you.

    I graduated in 2003 with CS degree in New York.
    From the blog, you seem to have entrepreneur spirit like many young people.
    Can i ask if you have a goal of founding a web-based software company?
