My New Years Resolution, 10 Days Late

I’ve never had a new years resolution. I guess I never got the point. I set small goals for myself here and there, so I never saw the need to set them at the beginning of the year. That changes this year. So here we go:

1) Read at least 1 book a month. Should be easy, I’m actually not sure how many books I read anymore.
2) Write 1 PHP article every 2 months. First one is in the works already. Not sure where I will try to publish them. Maybe just right here.
3) Finish 50 NES games in 100 days. Last night I couldn’t fall asleep, so I got up and fired up the emulator. I’m a sucker for old-school NES. The rules are simple. No game genie codes, anything else goes. I made a list of 78 games so far, just in case some prove impossible (I know I never beat a few of these without game genie codes - Ninja Gaiden I’m looking at you. Go here to check my progress.

I guess #3 isn’t really a year resolution, since it’s only planned to be 100 days, not the full year. Just another mini-goal to challenge myself.
