I don't really do resolutions, but my goals for the year:
- Yep, I want to draw some memorable art!
- I want to spend more time learning how to produce generative art. This new hobby combines my love of art and my knowledge of programming into one, so it seems like a no-brainer, but I have only learned the basics so far and have produced some rudimentary recursive algorithms. Sometime this year I want to take this to the next level.
- I want to find some time to take my idea for a written story further. I have begun laying out a story, breaking it into chapters, designing characters and settings, but so far it's very rough. I want to get down and actually have something written and take this project to the next level and advance it in some capacity.
- I want to take the time to read more. I need to finish re-reading Dune, I want to re-read Dune Messiah after that, and finish reading the other book I'm reading.. and finally finish the Commonwealth set of books.. ... There's also a bunch of other books I'd love to read but just never find time. I want to change that this year.
- I need to work on one of my decks and replace all the boards on it and that's probably something that should be done this year
- I want to learn a bit about finance and learn more about the ins and outs of tax season. I bet there's stuff I could be claiming. I need to be more on top of that. This all goes down in uhm a bunch of months, so I have some time.
- I probably need to buy a new wardrobe. I haven't gone clothes or shoe shopping since late 2019. I need work pants and work shoes. I probably need socks. I need a bunch of stuff.
- If my other projects pay off I want to spend some time on my pho related website and actually do something with the domain I bought for it. I have a bunch of ideas for it and have started trying some of them out, but a lot more work needs to be done here.
- I want to somehow find some time to work on music creation and production. I want to write a breaks type track and get my friend to take it and mix it in and take it to the next level. We've sort of been talking about collaborating like that for years but it's never amounted to much. I bough some music creation software (Reason 11) last Christmas and I have written some tracks in it, and improved working with loops and breaks, beats, etc. so I need to find some time to work on this project.
- I need to be more physically active and go on more walks or something. Should probably work out more. I've been too sedentary last year.
