Wow, are we already 1\/12 the way through 2009? Amazing! The key to succeeding in your resolutions is to keep on top of them. Here’s a brief (am I ever brief?) summary on how things are going:<\/p>\n

01. Lose Weight.
\n(Doing okay. Eating better, still not exercising regularly.)<\/p>\n

02. Read More.
\n(Read five books last month. Would still like to have a regular reading “schedule”. Working on it.)<\/p>\n

03. Remodel Upstairs.
\n(Plans are being made, hammers have not been lifted.)<\/p>\n

04. Thin Out Gaming Consoles.
\n(No progress.)<\/p>\n

05. Record an Album\u2019s Worth of Music.
\n(No progress.)<\/p>\n

06. Write (at least) One Book.
\n(Ideas are swirling …)<\/p>\n

07. Traincor — Get Moving.
\n(No progress, but getting inspired eight hours a day.)<\/p>\n

08. Organize a Monthly \u201cMovie\u201d Night.
\n(Success!<\/a>)<\/p>\n

09. Load and Begin Using Linux\/Ubuntu
\n(No progress.)<\/p>\n

10. Attend, and Participate in, Blockparty.
\n(Registered for Notacon\/Blockparty<\/a>, started planning, and submitted to be a speaker. Moving forward!)<\/p>\n

11. Go Digital.
\n(Still moving forward on this! So far, success!)<\/p>\n

12. Use RSS.
\n(Success! I am now getting 90% of my web news via RSS. Pretty much all I read now are RSS feeds and forums.)<\/p>\n

13. Relaunch the Podcast
\n(Progress. Scripted, but not recorded.)<\/p>\n

14. Clean out the Garage
\n(Opposite of success. Put more stuff in the garage.)<\/p>\n

15. Drink … Water
\n(So-so. I cut out everything but the morning sugar free vanilla ice coffees and the occasional margarita. I’m trying!)<\/p>\n

16. Set aside two mini-gaming sessions a week.
\n(No progress.)<\/p>\n

17. Update Review-o-Matic at least once a week.
\n(Success!)<\/p>\n

18. Spend at least one hour a week out in the arcade.
\n(Mostly success. It’s been too cold this month to spend much time out there, but I did a few arcade-related projects in the garage instead.)<\/p>\n

19. Set up a high-score tracking system out in the arcade.
\n(Progress — Jeff and I are working on this.)<\/p>\n

20. Set up a game night.
\n(Success! (See #8))<\/p>\n

All in all, not bad. One problem I have noticed with my list of resolutions is that I store them on the computer, so I only see them when I’m sitting at the computer. As a result, some of the things that need to happen away<\/i> from the computer aren’t getting done. Today I’m going to print a few copies of this list out and hang them in different places, so I’ll be reminded of my goals in other places. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
