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
- 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).
- Read one book every two weeks.
- Continue to lift weights three times a week.
- Continue to practice salsa dancing at least once a week.
Technically
- Release the fitness application I have been developing to the public (more details to come).
- Build Wordisms to a satisfactory level.
- Become well-versed in information retrieval, information extraction and machine learning.
- Teach or tutor computer science to students (anywhere from middle- or high-school to college).
Career-wise
- 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.”
