Hi, I posted this to set myself some targets to achieve in 2010 and at the same time to look back at the things I have done in 2009. This was inspired by a thread in cgtalk. http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=2&t=837064

Great Things that happened in 2009:

1) My Knee ACL rehab is going very well, in fact I feel 90% recovered with running and jumping not an issue anymore.
2) Manage to pick up Houdini on my own, although not a smooth ride, but at least I get through the foundation stage.
3) Completed my Basic Military Training in Nov 09
4) Manage to pick up python scripting on my own
5) Compiling a reel to go for a job hunt

Plans for 2010:

1) Get a job! Get a job!
2) Get myself involve in fine arts. Drawing and Painting.
3) Watch MIT online courses for mathematics and computer science.
4) Pick up shader programming for either Mental Ray or Renderman.
5) Exercise and work out my knee. Running, swimming and gym work.
6) Siggraph LA 2010 in July.
7) Siggraph Asia 2010 in Korea in December.
