Goals and Projects
Here are my goals for 2009.
Begin a PhD Program
Ever since I graduated from college, I’ve toyed with the idea of going to graduate school. Although, I’ve long had the desire, I could not visualize myself in a History program. At one point, I thought I would study historical sociology and thus combine my two undergraduate interests. Instead, I’ve recently completed my application for the Political Science PhD Program at Georgia State University. My decision is a result of me accepting that God has some purpose for me that involves government. I’m not sure exactly what he would like for me to do, but I have faith.
Current Tasks: Submit Application
Increase Three Sticks Readership to 1000 daily readers
I have had a lot of fun putting together this blog and I believe that for the foreseeable future it will serve as key component of my ministry. God willing, I will be able provide enough value that the site is able to generate enough money to allow me to do the projects listed here full-time. It’s time to get serious about this blog. I’ve been way too inconsistent in the past. That changes starting today 2/8/09.
Current Tasks: Write Articles and Promote Site
Launch Entrepreneurship Site
I’ve had an idea for a site to help train people on entrepreneurship. I hope to launch the site by the end of March.
Current Tasks: Complete Spec, Develop Site, Build Content
Ship Small Business Applications
I’ve been working on a set of applications for small business. This series of applications would provide the necessary infrastructure to easily operate a small business. I hope to launch the first of these applications by the end of July.
Current Tasks: Complete Spec, Technology Research
Learn Erlang and Clojure
Erlang and Clojure are two off the most interesting programming languages available today. I’m considering both of these for a future project.
