One year down, another to go.

Hello again and Happy New Year,

I'm not too much of a guy that recaps everything that happened over the course of a year, but 2008 definitely has been one worth noting.

The notable highlights were that I finished up my Master's degree after 3 years of work. I also headed back home to Colorado to accept some contract jobs, one at Sun Microsystems for a couple of months and the other from Raytheon to do work in Antarctica.

Other times when I have been by myself, I tend to think about how can I improve myself better and how to do it by actions instead of by mere words. This maybe an ongoing theme as I discover some more things about myself about what I'm capable of doing as well as respecting and making the people around me feel better about themselves.

There is also uncertainty as well, since at times I always find myself in the same trap of worrying about things that are non-essential and not caring enough about my short and long term goals in which I need to succeed. As long as my brain doesn't become toast in the next month and a half, I should have a better idea what do I need to get things done, so I would have a better 2009 for myself and the people around me.

Also, the picture above is of a set of sun globes. We use these at the Pole to measure how much sunlight we received during the day by reading the burn marks on the cards. Also, the smell of burnt sun cards drives the ladies wild....

Late.
