Another new year. 2006 had been a great year for me. My thirties have been delightful, a complete 180 from my twenties which totally sucked. Highlights for this past year:

• Yahoo! Answers GA (general audience) release
• Winning the Y! Superstar award (team award)
• Y! Better Bookmarks Beta launch
• Travels to Seattle and Chicago for Jean and Brenda's weddings respectively.
• Knocking off over $10K off my principal
• Holding up another year with my mother

And now, a list of to-do resolutions, ways of improving myself.

1. The perennial action items: exercise regularly and lose 7-10 pounds. Quit smoking, though I succeeded three times in '06 =)
2. Deemphasize the need to work and pursue less techie interests. Hopefully, I'll get back into the dating groove; it's been far too long.

This past year has been fruitful career-wise; however, I know I can't sustain last year's pace. For me, the ends won't justify the means anymore. I'm nearing my two year mark which usually means I've had enough time to ingest the politics and begin yearning for greener pastures. I'm gonna take it one quarter at a time. First thing is doing my best for my del.icio.us comrades.

More importantly, I need to get back to life: socializing, dating, hitting the 'round-the-corner dive for a pint of Guinness, etc. Less and less weekend hackin' and reading fewer tech books. There's a lot more interesting aspects of life that I've been putting aside. Time to set myself straight.

So, let the new year bring it! Ha. =P
