New Year's Resoluion: 3840x2400
I've been thinking about that whole new years resolution thing, sometimes I just cast it aside and don't make one. I'm one of those people who honestly believes in making a resolution and sticking with it or not doing it at all. Not afraid of the commitment, though sometimes I'm afraid what I'm committing to.
So what's the resolution for this year?
Get rid of half the things I own.
And the trick here is not to replace them with anything. I hope to lead more simple and focused life. Now, obviously I've got to set up some ground rules. Half of the things I own is kind of vague. After all, I can't get rid of half of my bikes.... I've only got one :). Also, as it turns out, my lovely wife isn't as keen on this as I am. So called "community items" will take some serious talking about. But there's plenty I can get rid of:
Clothes. I'm really not much one for vanity As a result of this, I never get rid of anything. I still own t-shirts from before I could drive. It's time for them to go.
Electronics: I'm a geek to the core and have been collecting computers and other bits for a long long time. The fact is, I don't need a beowulf cluster. I'll probably keep the half rack around, it's been a wonderful lab and I use it quite regularly. But there's some crap that I just don't need around. Just got rid of the game cube and all those games, should probably start thinking about other systems I just don't play on much anymore.
Kitchen gadgets: There was a point in time in my life where I practically collected kitchen stuff. I loved to cook, still do. But I actually know how to cook now and there's really something to be said about going back to basics. Besides, I fancy myself a grill master and there's just not a whole lot need to make a good rack of ribs, some beer can chicken or kabob's and Naan.
Well anyway, we'll see how this works out. Wish me luck.

I've done a big purge of computer related crap (and really, crap is the right word) on each of my recent moves and, really, I haven't missed having any of it.
But you'll have to pry my bikes out of my cold, dead hands ;-)
