Mine:

stop smoking
spend more time with family
do more exercise
buy a new e-booker reader

And what are your resolutions for 2008?

Alexander Turcic · 12-18-2007, 11:05 AM

Here is one of mine:

Make MobileRead better

Definitely I have to spend more time with my family, too, though.

NatCh · 12-18-2007, 11:17 AM

Some years ago, I resolved not to make any resolutions. I've managed to keep that one ever since.

vivaldirules · 12-18-2007, 11:31 AM

At least one of mine will be to finish learning how to do a good job of converting ebooks for uploading here and then to follow through on doing that for the ebooks I've promised.

I make mine on my birthday every year : e.g., I successfully quit smoking the last time on my 29th birthday. I would hate to tell you how long ago that was.

So hang in there Tad W.!

MickeyC · 12-18-2007, 12:48 PM

Mine
- Calm down
- Read more
- Acquire a Sony 505

Well, my no smoking vow was made based on price. I vowed that when cigarettes went to $3 a carton (not a pack!) I would quit and I did. That was quite a few years ago.

Well this one is hard for me. Spending less time on Mobile Read and work...Yuck!

To create the perfect e-Book. An impossible goal, but one can always try

.

HappyMartin · 12-18-2007, 03:31 PM

To finally publish a black and white landscape calendar of Southern Africa. We are off to a stunning desert area (Richtersveldt) of South Africa on Saturday and to Southern Namibia. Fun 4 X4 driving and temperatures in the low 40's, centigrade that is. I have 3 images I regard as good enough so far so if I can get another one on this break I will be a third of the way there and on track to meet the September printing deadline.

Buy a reader and get a new job!

TallMomof2 · 12-18-2007, 06:08 PM

Quit buying or acquiring ebooks until I catch up on my backlog. (Bet you that I'll break this one real quick.)
Continue low carbing.
Turn my PC into a dual boot XP/Linux machine.
Get rid of my pbooks as I replace them with ebooks.
Use up my fabric and yarn stash.

2008 Resolutions

- drink more caramel thickshakes

- make beer

- make luuuurve, not war (What is it good for? Absolutely nothing! {Say it again, y'all!})

- become a Warrior-Poet, or at least always dress like one

- Adopt the calendar of the Theocracy of Muntab

- Talk less nonsense (except for when absolutely necessary)

- dreadlocks, or shave my head (again)

- find an escape from the Drowned Woods

-- take more photos, particular of people, and add them to my pinboard "Wall of Souls" {insert evil laugh}

- find out what everything means and write it down

- learn how to write not just for the voices in my head

- play the guitar...badly

- become a better, or at least less-annoying, person

- think about contemplating an attempt at considering the effort it might take to try and be taken at all seriously

- Did I mention the thing about caramel thickshakes?

Cheers,
Marc (Stop me if I'm annoying you

)

PS. - take more blue pills...or is it the red ones. Oh, look! A green one! {gulp!}
