2009 Goals


  • Body
    1. fast between the hours of 8:30 pm and 6:30 am every day
    2. No ice cream or candy for one year
    3. Re-read the mindless eating book
    4. hit targets of 4 exercising days a week or 3 hours of total exercise with the pups as much as possible
    5. drop 25 lbs
  • Mind
    1. implement a jquery ui splash page for propri.us + resume
    2. rite my own custom wordpress theme for hippeelee.com/blog
    3. build the malu site as an example of ‘my work’ - it should be like a big business site today that sells real world products: amgen, burton, apple, etc … but flexible enough to tell the story as well. This could tie in with #2 above.
    4. Continue writing the sg::malu story and implement a jquery ui for the front page (might need to export from dream host and put onto proprius) 2-3-4 seem to be tied together and are not set in stone. Look through old lab notebooks for stuff.
    5. finish practical common lisp
    6. start SCIP and use javascript to solve some problems
  • Soul
    1. 10 minutes a day of visualization - 25lbs lighter, master javascripter, expert rider, & best papa ever
    2. watch, film and photograph 20 sunsets and sunrises
    3. get at least two days of backcountry riding and snowshoeing in with Hannah and Julie 1 at Estes Park and one at Berthoud Pass (buy a shovel and probe and if you can a transciever)
    4. complete the heil ranch + hall ranch out and back
    5. Ride the Heil Ranch + Hall Ranch loop all in one day.
    6. 10 ‘real’ hikes with the family + dogs & 2 camping trips
    7. special hugs for J&H on the weekends
