2010 In Review

31 December 2010

This was a pretty epic year for me. I’ve seen some tremendous gains in my career, and am really excited for the path I’m currently on. Instead of doing a long post like last year, I think I’ll take a cue from Alex Payne and just list some accomplishments and goals. Without further ado, in 2010 I:

  1. Completed my apprenticeship.
  2. Was brought on full-time at Obtiva.
  3. Moved to Chicago, downsizing from a 1500 Sq Ft house to a 550 Sq Ft apartment in the process.
  4. Launched, and shutdown, Ignitious.
  5. Cofounded gathers.us.
  6. Cofounded ChicagoDB.
  7. Had 5 speaking engagements (my previous record for a given year was 0).

Goals for 2011

  1. Get better at writing and speaking.
  2. Help bring gathers.us into profitability.

It’s hard to imagine 2011 being anywhere near as good as 2010, but it should be a fun year nonetheless!
