I find New Year's resolutions to be silly: if you want to change something about yourself, why wait until the new year? Weren't you overweight last year? Lazy last year? Mean to your children/spouse/etc. last year? So why didn't you change then? Why does the idea of it being a New Year make change seem so much important - or so much more attainable?
So this is not a New Year's resolution: I intend to pay a bit more attention to my blog. As in, actually update it from time to time, rather than only once every several months. Shortly, as in, next week, I hope to have a new laptop - that might help a bit ('cause more of the stuff I care about will be centralized in one place, making things like posting pictures so I can blog about them easier). As poor I am at planning ahead (e.g. putting up pictures ahead of time so I can blog about them), that little change should make a difference.
We'll see. At any rate, I'm not making promises. I just realized yesterday that I rather miss blogging: it's nice to be able to look at something I've written, and to have pictures I've picked out somewhere I can point to.

While a minor overstatement, I find that the challenges of dependable computing are quite compelling and, moreover, have the potential for significant social and economic impact as our lives become increasingly tied to computers (like it or not).
When I'm not tied to my computer (all day at work, most days), I like to be outside, doing something, usually with a camera on my hip. Staring at pixels all day adds to an appreciation of the (unsampled) beauty of the real world.
