Officially the year is not over, but its close enough to the finish line to add some finality to the Goals for ’08 list I had written last January 1st.
So here are the goals with notes on all:
- Launch 10 sites - UPDATED: redesigned 1, Launched 2 (here & here) = 3, 7 from goal
7 away from goal, which is a fail but in this busy year of constant social life and work projects I could not had more free time than I did. A failure, yes but far from disappointment. - Right with my write hand (i’m a lefty)
Complete fail but then again it was never something of extreme interest - Redesign my own site to be closer to reaking of awesomeness than some cookie-cutter gingerbread house
Fail, but I did buy ChrisHConnelly.com so I forsee that being the new home of portfolio related goodness…which I’m building now, in SilverStripe. - Buy a new car used
- Be a part of another company on some sort of advisory board, consultant or partner
- fly a kite – Honestly, I’ve done bigger things in year like Ice Skating
- Get more fit and fashionable Done and I think I look pretty good these days, thank you Kohls
- Visit family in Mass.
- learn a programming language Success: in a small way, I’m more PHP and Javascript friendly
- Get the parents to visit me in Newark
- Paint new things Half success: I did paint just not very well
- Lose 30 pounds: UPDATE: Lost 28 as of 8/21 (For the record I was at 260 1/1 of ’08) 232 isn’t bad and maybe 220 could be the goal for ’09
- Get on the water/boat
- Visit Yankee Stadium See here
- Launch an active blog
- Start a kickball team
- Start a dodgeball team
Grand total: 11 Successes, 4 true failures and a few that were neither.
Not a bad year at all, here’s to a better ’09
