It’s 2009! And I really only have a few goals:
1. Get my butt in shape for the Flying Pig Marathon in May. I’m running a leg of this marathon (a relay, if you will) and I really need to get to a point where I’m doing at least 7-10 miles on my long runs. The only real challenges are these: The time I have to run is late at night when the baby is in bed. Also, I no longer have a running partner.
2. Get in tight with the cool kids and the IxD/UX crowd this year — specifically, I’d like to suss out the Columbus-based (or even Midwest regional) UX-space talent and get them involved in the goings-on of the IxDA organization. Wish me luck.
3. Redesign the blog — possibly separate the personal/family ramblings from the professional postings. It’s such a tricky balance to do this, as I’m really afraid no one will ever read the professional stuff. I think I’ll put this design effort off until a little later this spring, as I really need to consider that my schedule is full up with work, baby, and my trip to Vancouver for Interaction|09.
4. Find a way to convince the husband that we should adopt another greyhound.
5. Help father and sister find sustainable and meaningful work.
I have my hands full. What’s on your plate?
Denise, easiest way to make sure your professional stuff is still read is to get your blog hooked into a Planet of some sort. I’m sure there has to be one for user interface design and web design in general. Next tag your professional stuff as you have been doing, and provide those specific feeds to the Planets.
This is what I have done with my blog. I managed to get it picked up by two different planets.
