To Do

Feb 25 2010

Things I want to do, when I can find time in my life.

  • Learn how to com­pe­tently use video-editing soft­ware (Final­Cut Pro?)
  • Get a han­dle on CSS. Update May 15, 2010: I’ve made some progress on this through work­ing on the Har­vard Asian Amer­i­can alumni sum­mit Web site.
  • Be involved in a doc­u­men­tary of some repute.
  • Learn more about account­ing, mostly to read income statements.
  • Re-invigorate my Span­ish, which has decayed since my time in Cuer­navaca, Mexico.
  • Spend a decent amount of time in Africa, maybe Malawi, where my friends are doc­tors; South Africa, where my friend, Hugo, is from; and Zim­babwe, where Camfed does a lot of impact­ful work.
  • Spend time in South­east Asia (vis­it­ing an xkcd school in Laos?).
  • Go to Burn­ing Man.
  • Become decent at Python, Ruby or PHP (though csil­vers says he will refuse to speak to me if I learn PHP). Update April 29, 2010: I’m get­ting bet­ter a lit­tle bit at a time writ­ing Python scripts.
  • Spent a year plus in China. Enough to get my Chi­nese to almost lit­er­ary, but not so much that the pol­lu­tion adversely affects my health.
  • Join a start-up or early stage com­pany. Open to suggestions.
  • Get a han­dle on usabil­ity and design. Update May 15, 2010: I tweeted this goal and had a lot of won­der­ful peo­ple reply with sug­ges­tions of courses, con­fer­ences and even an offer on one-on-one tutor.
