i love the holidays. i especially love the new year’s though cause it’s an acceptable time to hit that big-nice-red reset button.

stuff I wanted to get done in 2013/2014 #

1. get back in shape (significant progress on this front)
2. get more sleep (been getting atleast 6 hours, which is good, now to bump it to 7)
3. get really good at Rails (switched gears and became an android developer. i like to think i’m a pretty decent one too)
4. get a job after my masters

stuff done in 2013/2014: #

joined wedding party #

i joined as a full-time rails dev but landed up becoming a full-time android dev for them. we have some of the craziest, smartest and fun loving peeps in the industry. i’m absolutely loving my time here.

released a lot of new android stuff #

besides releasing a tonne of cool features for wedding party, i managed to ship two big android projects: Android-floatlabel and learning Android-RxJava, both of which have been received pretty well by the open source community

new blog design #

i changed this blog’s design (again) to match my homepage. i’m really happy with this iteration of the design. i think it has just the right balance of minimalism, simplicity and style

getting fit(ter) #

i’m a regular again at the gym. i was probably at my fittest around 2007 and i’ve still got a long way to go, before i get to that shape again. but i’m getting there.

overall, 2013/2014 went by in a jiffy and was a total win!

stuff I want to do in 2015: #

start playing the piano #

this is an area i’ve totally fallen off the bandwagon. i don’t do enough sound-engineering or music anymore. i’m thinking of getting a piano/synthesizer and just start jamming again.

travel to atleast two new places that i’ve never been #

a bunch of my close friends and i love traveling and we hit a high in 2013 (just after graduation). it was amazing until 2014, where i’ve hit a complete travel slump.

release an independent (android) app #

i’ve always wanted to build the Day One app for android (given that they are probably never going to¹). there are very few high-quality journaling apps on android. i think this is a personal itch that i’m going to try to scratch.

here’s to a happy adventurous and exciting 2015!
