Happy 2006!
Welcome to 2006, a little late perhaps for some, as I am on the western edge of the day.
I spent a good part of my evening partying it up with a bunch of AARP-types and a very excellent gentleman that happens to be my fiancé’s grand-father. Enroute, after almost a year of “trying to remember”, we picked up a Olympus WS-100 digital voice recorder. The idea being to record all of the great stories, conversations, histories, and lives of our families for archiving, later reviewing and retelling, and other possible “mash-ups”. I’ll post a better review later, but it seems to work rather well.
A few resolutions for the new year:
- Install bug-tracking software for my open-source projects
- finish some of my projects – specifically, lay out a timeline, action items, and milestones and meet them before starting new projects.
- learn another foreign language – teetering between Japanese and Mandarin Chinese. I really want to learn Japanese but the local course times and a potential future outlook preference Chinese.
- Plan a wedding

Since China has the world’s sixth largest economy, and is growing, plus our relations with China are growing; I would recommend learning Mandarin Chinese. But, either would be a lot of fun to try out!
Also, do we get a report card on how successfully you completed last years resolutions?

I studied Japanese when I lived in Japan for 2 years and it is such a fascinating language! I have no clue how difficult Mandarin Chinese would be to learn, but I’m sure it would be beneficial too! Good luck with your resolutions!
