So I have decided that I need to have a set of goals for the summer… and to use my blog to help track them and attempt to hold myself accountable for them…
Goal #1 - Read Things - I want to finish reading The World Without Us, Freedom Evolves, and a piece of fiction (does anyone have a suggestion?)…
Goal #2 - Build Things - I want to build a dog house for lucy and some form of a robot from scratch…
Goal #3 - Learn Things - I want to learn more about starting a small software product / service company. My main focus will still be drop.io and probably will be for a few years… but I want something to do on the side and get a taste of what it’s like…
Goal #4 - Code Things - I want to write a concrete example (real world) using my genetic algorithm framework, EvolveStuff
Goal #5 - Write Things - I want to continue to write on this blog, perhaps with some more effort. I also want to think about a book proposal… It’s always been a goal of mine, and recently had a chance, but decided I didn’t have time when we first got Lucy and Becca started school.
I think that 5 goals is quite a bit, but at the same time it will push me to get these done (or at least I hope)…
At any rate, any thoughts on the goals? Should I add some? Change them?
Of course I’ll post images and thoughts about the goals through the summer… so stay tuned.
The Prince of Tides, by Pat Conroy
Cider House Rules, by John Irving
Fight Club, by Chuck P., whose last name I won't attempt to spell
The Monkey Wrench Gang, by Edward Abbey
Straight Man, by Richard Russo
Enjoy.
Cool Blog, BTW
And thanks for the comment on the blog, added yours to my Bloglines this morning... :)
Just read a little on Wikipedia about the book... do you have a favorite translation attempt in English?
The book sounds good... I'll have to give it a shot!
