Resolutions never turn out successful for me so I’m going to make 10 and hope for a 70% completion by December 31, 2010.

10. Build up my portfolio, while I’m unemployed.

It’s time I start building the base for where I plan on going. If you don’t have the foundation constructed first, everything you build will crumble or be extremely unmaintainable.

9. Find a Job

I’ve been looking even for the most basic job, just to bring money in, to know avail. May start doubling down on this, but at this point I’m stuck were I am, and the job market here is dead.

8. Go back to school

This is one I’m tempted to forget about automatically, but I’ll give it another shot in the fall if something has set itself up by then.

7. Set up a blog on Education

It’s one of the things that always gets me going.

6. Write a text on the Failure of the US Government

I want to see a future, and the actions of the government for the most part since before I was born is working to destroy the country. The infrastructure is failing and preparing to head off the cliff.

5. Post here at least once a week

I need to keep my writing fresh, active discussion keeps the mind fresh.

4. Open back up to the Social Media World

I used to be everywhere, but the past 8 months it’s been predominantly FriendFeed. I plan on moving back out to Twitter, Digg, Stumbleupon, and new sites.

3. Comment Natively

I rarely comment on posts I read, especially on the smaller blogs I read. I want to change this, because I know how much it sucks

2. Release My Product & Maintain it

This one’s guaranteed, it’s just a matter of making sure I maintain it and build the application tree out in a maintainable fashion.

1. Keep on Learning

The number one thing on my list every year, an idle mind is a wasted mind. I want to learn and become fluent in at least 6 different things.

Yes, the blog has become stagnant and has had only 2 posts in 3 months, and I understand the concerns this raises. I had a close relative die at the beginning of May and spiraled into a comfortably numb state that I didn’t feel like nor was able to come out of it for a few weeks. As I worked my way out of this depression I began interacting and having meaningful conversations over on Friendfeed and began a lot of my time there. By Mid-July, I was nearly back to normal(as close as can be expected) and had begin writing a few posts again and had planned to start posting again at the beginning of the month. Unfortunately, I lost a friend on the 26th and fell back into the depression and haven’t really felt like finishing a lot of the drafts I have sitting around.

I’ll begin posting regularly on Monday, August 17th and as of right now I’m going to be posting every Monday. Currently, I have enough to last a little over 2 months, but I will be adding more time sensitive material along the course. I also plan an update to the site, which will come with a more frequent feed of interesting stories, images, and videos separate from the main feed. For right now, I just want to let you know that I will be back posting on a regular basis, along with some irregularly scheduled content.
