Scott Hebert

In January 2008, I published a list of 5 resolutions for 2008. Before detailing my resolutions for 2009, I’d like to take a look at those old resolutions and see how I measured up.

1. Write at least 1 Facebook application.
   This resolution went absolutely nowhere. Not only did I not make any progress on a Facebook application, I really cut back on my Facebook usage altogether.
2. Double my blog readership.
   This resolution went pretty well. My goal was to reach the following numbers:
   Scott Hebert: 15 readers
   Hynjoku: 15 readers
   Slaptijack: 80 readers
   My personal blog and Hynjoku had just a few more readers than my goal. This is especially interesting considering I abandoned Hynjoku in April when I stopped playing World of Warcraft. Slaptijack went well above the 80 reader mark and is now in triple digits.
3. Drop 30 pounds.
   Fail.
4. Shut down Praeter Technologies, Inc.
   Success. I managed to jump through all the hoops necessary to make this happen. This means I will no longer be filing unnecessary tax returns after this year.
5. Read at least one book per month.
   I’m proud to report I blew this one away. According to my Goodreads account, I read more than 20 books in 2008.
