Cristiano on Tech/Life My Geeky New Year’s Resolutions

I know I could write down some traditional new year’s resolutions like last year, but everyone knows (and nobody cares) that I need to eat more healthy, sport more, etc, etc.
So here are some of my more geeky new years resolutions for this year.
- Project365: Take a photo a day, for a year. Sounds easy, but obviously ego gets in the way and I want to produce nice photos every day. I’m now on day 5 (1 to 4 are here) and still haven’t produced a nice photo yet today so I better hurry up. My photos will all show up on my Flickr stream and in a weekly brief here on my blog. Have a look at the Flickr group for more people’s submissions.
- 52 Themes: Quite similar to Project365, this project has set the target to motivate photographers to submit one photo in a certain theme every week, for 52 weeks in a row. I willprobably be picking one of my 7 daily photos as my weekly pick every time but I might have an eight photo instead. I will probably post this photo to my blog too but also have a look at the group for other people’s submissions. This week’s topic is “new beginnings”.
- 52 Movies from the IMDB Top 250: We noticed we had seen very little of the IMDB Top 250 movies (both around 30%). As movie lovers we couldn’t have this obviously so we have now handpicked 52 from the Top 250 movies and we will watch these in the next 52 weeks. More about this (including a list) in a future blog post.
- Try Linux: I have never really gotten into Linux. The main reason for this is probably the fact that I’ve always ran Linux in a dual boot installation next to the OS that I was really using. This year I promise to somehow get a machine that I can run Linux on and use it as my workstation. I might get a netbook or some other small laptop, or maybe I will install Linux on my MacBook and just wipe OS X. Whatever I will do, I pledge I will give Linux a fair change.
