Happy New Year! This year, my two resolutions:

• Get to 200 lbs. or less by April 1. Last year I went from 233 to a current weight of ~215 in three months, and held it there (+ or – a pound or two) for the rest of the year. It seems it’s just the delta that requires thought and some motivation. No motivation as strong as beating Klay this year, and I’ve failed to move the momentum in the right direction a couple times during the remainder of the year, but I’m confident I can make this work.
• Figure out how to get a measure of “creative authority” in my job. Whether that means trying to figure out how to move into a “creative director” type position, or changing what “lead designer” means at my current one, it means finding a way where I have the definitive say on at least matters of the design of the game I’m working on.

That’s it. Good times. I hope this year is wildly successful for everyone.
