Side-Projects
Not as many projects as I would have liked, but my focus this year has been mostly on outdoor things. I did manage to release several Chef cookbooks that our company uses under the MIT license.
Succeeded
Failed
Regrets
- Didnt save enough money
- Not enough time off from work
- Didn't take enough film photographs
- Didn't develop my own photos
- Engine in Outback blew up and cost a lot
- Not traveling outside US
- Not learning a new language (again)
Goals from 2015
Didn't get many goals done, I think the tech and photo really took a back seat to climbing and fishing. Granted, the climbing was also impacted from a finger injury that I was slow to return from. Father travel will require more planning.
