New Year's Resolution in February

This post was supposed to happen sometime ago, but after having it all typed up and going to submit it, my DB server decided to crash at the exact moment and the post was forever lost.

So with the New Year comes change. No, not the type of change we heard about in the presidential elections, I'm talking about personal change...more specifically, change for me.

As most of you know, I recently had a son and it put things in perspective a bit more and let's just say I got to get to it. So in the upcoming year, you will see this site redesigned in quite a dramatic fashion. Dramatic, as in, it won't look like this.

Also, I've decided to focus on personal growth this year as well. I'm going to learn two new programming languages which will be Java and Ruby. And with it being February, I've all ready started picking up both.

Last but not least will be my reading habits. I'm going to try and read 10 books this year and only 5 can be on web or technology. I feel that if I limit the stuff I have a good handle on, I'll learn quite a bit more about other interesting topics making myself a more well-rounded individual. I will be cheating a bit though, as I'll be "listening" to most of the books since I have an Audible subscription.

Any ideas on must read books? Anyone given up on their resolutions yet?
