As the holidays are upon us and we are closing out the year, it's a great time for self-reflection and making the decision to improve. What are your goals/resolutions for the new year?

Come back in a year and let us know if you succeeded.



Be Happy!

  happy= "what makes me happy"
  Think(happy) 
  Do(happy)
  Be(happy)
  Find(reasons to be happy)


2010's not over yet! Don't wait until the next year to be productive, start NOW. You all have 5 days left.


- Top 100k pageviews/month average on my tech blog

- Write first book

- Write first webapp or mobile app

- Create something for sale (eBook, tutorials, etc.) for passive income

- Graduate from college

- Spend more time with family and away from the computer

- Something exciting and unexpected ... that's what makes life special, after all!


1) Finish the iPhone application I've been working on in my spare time within the next 3 months.

2) Find a full-time gig at a fun/energetic company designing and creating products I love.

3) Put on 20 lbs of muscle


Get personally cashflow-positive without a job with iOS or webdev contracting and/or my new top-secret analytics project, hehe :)


We've recently gotten our first paying customer after many free trials. Our goal is to get 100 customers within the next year.


1. Get 10,000 subscribers for digest.io

2. Get 10,000 queries / post per day on spotted.at

3. Smile more, appreciate life and get a date or two. :-)


Mine is to quit drinking redbull.


Just don't switch to No-Carb Rockstar. One of these cans has 250mg of caffeine and I'm up to 2 per day. That's half a gram, which makes me feel like a true drug addict. I feel like Jessie from Saved By the Bell singing "I'm So Excited" all hopped up on caffeine pills.
