I'm doing 14 things
This isn’t a new years resolution. Just like Jeff Atwood (http://www.codinghorror.com) loves Steve McConnell, I love Donald Knuth.
I would love to record my learning experiences to my blog as Atwood has.

Get a wife! It will help with getting to bed earlier...
23 months ago
One of my earlier goals was to “Marry the woman I love!”.
As a result of the marriage, I have this whole other person that I get the privilege of sharing my bed with. One of the side effects is that she gets to determine when “bed time” is.
One piece of scripture I like to live my life by:
