I take a lot of photos with my phone, usually of food, and send to Flickr:
Typically I have a project buzzing in my head, and a goal for the year:
Get back into training
Status: started! This must be the most classic project of them all. I really need to do it though. Not getting younger.. Now doing CrossFit and getting back into my running.
Fix up hultberg.org
Status: nearly done… Website is now in a presentable state and I don’t cringe every time I see in my log that someone has visited it.
Goal 2012: Build a mobile app!
Status: idea and conceptualisation phase. Building a CrossFit iPhone app, to provide inspiration and tracking around exercises.
Goal 2011: Learn to program proper!
Status: working on it… I have always dabbled in simple web development. Cold Fusion, Perl scripts, PHP… Simple scripting stuff, usually based on cobbling together pieces found through Google and just learning enough to tweak the code for my needs. Now I want to make sure to understand what I do!
Goal 2010: Read more books!
Status: completed! I need to make more time for long form reading. Books. For 2010 I need to finish at least two books a month, ideally 50/50 business literature and fiction.
These days I mainly tweet (jaded blogger...), but every so often I blog:
Cooking is my favourite pastime, closely followed by going to great restaurants. On Tummyrumble I sometimes post recipes and experiences. Although these days you are more likely to see pictures of what I do on Instagram... Freebookings is a web-based tool for free restaurant reservations, on the blog we write about tool features and how to get more reservations out of your website. Theblackboard.net is the Livebookings blog where I every Monday for a long time used to post a round up of restaurant online marketing news.
