a little note for you, so you see / when I'm gone, I never go too far

In 2013

January 2, 2013

I don’t think I made any official resolutions last year. It was a decent year anyway.

This year, I have two (and two is enough):

  1. Become proficient in Python
  2. Exercise more

I’ve already made some decent progress on #1. I spent quite a bit of time researching different programming languages last year, and Python has struck me as a language that both interests me personally (and is widely regarded as a good language to start with), and also a language that will be useful to my business. So Python it is. I’m learning Python the hard way. (Want to join me, Dad?)

My #2 is actually quite a bit harder because I’m not sure how I’m going to do it. I’m not a gym person, I don’t want to jog, and I don’t see myself engaging in any organized sports in Shanghai. I’m thinking that I need to figure out some sort of calisthenics system. Hmmm.
