Project Spotting...

Projects I am currently working on:

- Project A at work. Major releases due this year. Not much posting about that here. I may find other places to play with that.

- Fitness -- I plan to run the Pittsburgh Half Marathon in May. I have 18 weeks to get ready. I plan to mix up running with biking to build cardio conditioning. I want to try and get my Great Race speed to a sub 8 minute mile. We'll see how it goes. I have some consecutive pullup (25) and pushup (100) goals that I want to reach as well for general fitness

- Coding -- Lots of sub projects here: iphone and android development, WebSphere sMash, some skill retooling and growth as I look towards the future. Building some skill with Python and Javascript won't hurt either. Going to do some plugin improvements for Quoteurltext.

- Writing -- A few articles I would like to write and I want to get started on writing a book. I think I have it in me, just need to focus and push it forward. Blogging and journaling will also be good to bring forward.

The big emphasis is getting things done this year. Work fast and get some completion marks.

Welcome to 2009

Thanks to everyone for a great 2008! Let's do better with 2009!

timeliness

100 Days left in 2008.
13 Weeks.

Not a lot of time to get things done. A good deadline though.

So what do I want to do with my life? A few goals:
- Write a book
- Run a marathon
- 100 pushups in a row
- 20 pullups/chinups
- Read 100 books for 2008 (I've read 45)
- Replace windows

I can't do all of them in 100 days, but I am going to see how many I can accomplish.

not much of a ressurection

So on the 5th I posted I was restarting a writing habit. On the 16th I post my next post. Not too good on building a habit :)

spending my team reading and thinking and working. Any other freecycles got to Z and A.

Lots going on, trying to make some space to think and it really isn't working too well. So much more to do and see and learn and apply.

Ressurecting a writing habit.

I was pretty good for three months, and now I need to get the groove back. Most of my habits fall in and out of 3 month cycles. It is something I vaguely notice and comes in handy to reinforce to myself that I can pick something up again.

finding a new groove

A few days off does a world of good to getting one's mind in place.

Prioritizing comes much easier. As does thinking about the big pictures. Been down in the weeds a bit too long, and starting to realize that now. Looking at the bigger plan is easier with a little bit of perspective.

Looking to make all kinds of progress this week both on work and personal fronts. Actually having the drive to get some house work done. Need to get the house prepped for the party. T-minus 27 days at this point. Or something like that :)

Lots to do, which is always exciting :)

Wow

It has been many a day since I last posted! I'm no sure where all the time went, some went well some went poorly, some with sickness and some with health. A lot spent working but a bit on playing and balancing. Not enough on the last two but I'm working at it. Also got some reading done which has been wonderful. A variety of selections including a new Destroyer Novel, David Gunn's new novel, "Why French Women don't Get Fat", "Never Eat Alone" and "Man's Search For Meaning". All good reads with interesting headstreaching. Ok not so much with the novels but variety is goodness. There are a few other bits swimming around now in my head. Looking for the best ways to take advantage of them.

I had Friday off for A's Birthday which was goodness. Got some time to relax and enjoy and cater to A for Mom's Fest 2008. I think I need to spend a bit more time catering to my girls, I had a blast doing it and it was a truely relaxing time. We got some shopping and grilling in yesterday, even though we had a no-nap day for Z.

Thinking and mixing ideas from what I've been reading this week. Lots more to explore and read and I'm once again by the idea of extracting ideas from Print. Sometimes it goes away, but I love it when it all comes back!
