To hell with industry predictions, I am going to write about the one subject I can truly influence–myself. Therefore, this post is going to be about the personal resolutions I am making about my own use of technology tools in the coming year:
1) Get an iPod and go all digital
Yeah, I owned an iPod–and I gave it to my kid. This time, around, I want a video iPod and I want to move all my music over to digital–and figure out a media storage solution that works as well.
2) Upgrade my phone and add a decent video camera to it–with clogging and podcast components.
3) Start podcasting weekly– a friend had a great idea–I still want to do it.
4) Move my blog to a new domain and get off blogspot. Aanyone need explanations on that?
5) Upgrade from my friend’s digital camera to my own–and buy flickr pro–got it for my client, need to add my own access.
6) Tag more. I think tagging is amazing, but I avoid doing it. Change that a bit.
7) Get a decent new computer–or a cheap back up machine.
8) Do more new tools beta testing on a weekly basis–using that back-up machine I wanna establish.
9) Learn more–a lot more–about extreme programming–as I got more and more into product development this is a critical area to build competency.
10) Keep having fun with technology–it’s gotta be both enjoyable and useful–and it can be.
11) Turn off my land line phone for good–between the VOIP options and the cell, the $$ I am paying is a waste.
12) Buy a big TV. Yeah, I don’t watch it, but it’s time to upgrade from 19 inches, doncha think?
13) Card scanning or something–figure out something to do with all those business cards that are stacked in bowls around my office. I do want to talk to some of these folks again.
How about you all? What are your personal tech resolutions for 2006?
