Happy New Year

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

It’s 2009, time for a new website and new ideas for the new year.  That got me thinking about the next year as a sprint (like part of an iteration in agile programming).  I’ve been listening to Ondrej (another co-founder @ Syncplicity) too much because the next question to pop in my head was, what exit criteria do I use to determine if 2009 was a successful year?

I’ve got the gym thing covered (thanks LaLanne Fitness) and my diet’s good too (I’m a pescetarian).  I’d like to reduce my dependency on caffeine sometimes, but living in San Francisco makes me think that’s heresy.  I’d also like to take more photos.  I have a fantabulous Canon 30D and I always enjoy snapping some photos.

Work-wise, 2009 should be a great year.  Since Fall 2007, Syncplicity has been a very exciting project for me.  We have a great product and we’re now well funded.  It’s been a challenge to get this point and there’s a long queue of really interesting work ahead.  I’m especially excited because not everything is Windows focused.  If you know me, you know that Windows is now relegated to VMs on my computers.

Happy New Year everyone!
