Tech and a few other things RSS 2.0
# Wednesday, January 20, 2010

I'm told the best way to keep your New Years resolutions is to write them down. What a better place than my personal blog to attempt to keep me on the strait and narrow. Here is my list.

1. Read 1 book a month.
Since I recently finished school I now have my time back to read what I like. I have decided to start off reading fiction for some feel good wins during the first couple months then move on to something that I may improve from. I'll do a quick post of every book I read.

2. Get my PMP
Apparently a Masters in Business Administration with a very strong focus in finance from a reputable, though not tier 1, business school isn't a big deal anymore. Being a slave to the corporate demands I'm diving into becoming a project manager professional (PMP). It might be a little interesting I suppose. Though I'm betting the challenge of organizing teams will be a tiny bit easier than calculating derivatives and bond valuations.

3. Finish my Second iPhone Application

My first application is a fun little Online Banking hack for the company I work for. The second one I would like to create is a wine cellar type application for the iPhone. I know a few wine'os out there that have a huge "library", I believe this would be useful and YES someone else has done this, but I think I can do it better. :)

4. Use Less Cliche Statements
This could just be me, but I feel statements I use such as "The grass is greener on the other side," are because I am lacking the creativity to express how I truly feel so I go with something easy to grab, because it's, what is said, and not necessarily indicative of my true feelings.
