I will actually have to do something to keep myself on track to make this new year’s resolution. I still didn’t finish the book Reality Check by Guy Kawasaki. This book is good and when a book is really good it takes time to read it well. It’s a near 500 pages book and I am exactly on page 250 right now.

Reality Check quotes and talks a lot about other books. The book iWoz by Steve Wozniak one of the founders of Apple is one of them. This is the next book on my list I plan on reading. I just hope I can find it here in Puchong. After iWoz I will hold of on the Apple related books for a while… I might start reading some thrillers or mafioso books since reading next to being informative and fun should also fuel your imagination and business books for a big part take away a large part of that imagination.

Two days ago I released the first version of Inscorta and I plan to work on this a lot during Chinese New Year. Another New Year? Time for another New Year’s Resolution! Any suggestions for a good New Year’s resolution?  Also my birthday is coming up(It’s already tomorrow) and this again is a New Year. Damn those New Year’s resolutions. Who was the idiot(I am just kidding) that had this great idea to put three New Year’s in such a short time span?

I have better things to do then to worry about New Year’s resolutions all day. I am busy with work and I cancelled my trips for this New Year’s Holiday to work on Inscorta, Launch poetsplaza.nl and write a report(which I almost forgot about) for my school.

But every day I conclude there is nothing to write about. Not that my life is boring but I didn’t do anything interesting today or this week. You can say of course I can write about my job because creating computer games is the most coolest thing in the world! however I had to sign an NDA(It’s less interesting than it sounds), so that is off the table. But today in my few seconds of thought about this, I decided to write something…anything. But again I had nothing to write about. So I entered the search keywords “What to blog about” in google and I ended up at the Blog Herald which has the exact article I needed. After reading this I still knew nothing. Stupid blogs!

In another really short thought I remembered a blog post I once wrote about Starbucks and why it is successful (I never published that post) So, I did a search for that post but It disappeared :-( I found an interesting fact though: “I was born January 14th 1982. The year when the diet coke also came to life”. I think I’ll use this line for my about page.

But I’ll tell you what I did today. I played some more Red Alert 3. Yes, it still didn’t finish the game. I read a chapter of a book I’m reading and after that I picked up another book to read afain a chapter. I am actually trying to read 4 books at once. This might not be the smartest thing to do but lately my brain is hungry for input and although youtube it really nice, nothing can capture my imagination as well as some good lines of code…I mean text! Lately for my job I’ve been writing code a lot and it made know how much I love doing this. I am turning back into a full time computer geek :D
