Health

- Undo minor case of hip impingement ( sitting down too much! )

- Connect with more people / foster better relationships. Who knew making friends in a city could be so hard?

Programming

- Finish SICP. Made it through four chapters with co-workers, and then everyone dropped off.

- Continue exploring functional programming

- Finish my homegrown Japanese kana / kanji language learning tool

Other:

- Take some of the wisdom from this thread[1], and make myself more "marketable" through blogging, giving talks, etc.

- Pass the JLPT 3 test
