In 2009, I resolve to…

Be healthier. This one goes right to the top because it will be the hardest. I’m cutting fried food and chicken wings, getting back to regular workouts, visiting the doctor and dentist, and taking care of the high blood pressure.

Read more. School may be over, but now I can learn whatever I want. The goal is at least one new book per month and a fresh topic to dive into.

Blog more. This blog barely gets updated, and my ZDNet blog isn’t much better. Time to change that.

Cook more. I’ve been a line cook at four restaurants, yet the kitchen in my SF apartment hasn’t seen any action.

Spend less money, save more. Finances need work. Between college loans and lingering credit card debt, 2009 is about paying things down and building savings.

Be way more patient. Living online trains you to expect instant gratification (hello, CMD + T + Google). In ’09 I want to be more patient with life.

Be more social. I’d love to meet every single person who has ever been born. Ambitious? Yep. Still going to try.

Make my company better. My dad is watching MarketWatch—direct competition to BNET—as I type this. In the new year, I want to make the company stronger so he’ll flip the channel.
