Year in review

Happy new year!

This post is not language specific, although it does relate in some sense. I was inspired by this post from Seth Godin's blog to publish a list of what I shipped in 2010.

In his post he mentions that it is difficult to write such a list. Here is my attempt at a list:

• Launched this blog (Life in Language) to track Mandarin studies and progress from a month long China/Taiwan journey.
  
• Created a monitoring tool for Subversion branches.
• Implemented Scrum for team Projects, shipping and demoing many new features. (This could actually be a long list).
• Launched weekly information sessions to encourage knowledge sharing.
• Took on Executive role with ToastMasters club (VP PR + Club President).
  

I need to work on my definition of "shipped". Most of my accomplishments are from work - this is OK. However, I want to start up several initiatives of my own in 2011.

The fact that this list is short will motivate me to ship more in the coming year. Great things are coming!
