Plans and goals for 2010
I can't see another thread about this, so here it is.
What are your plans and goals for 2010? What do you want to do and make and accomplish? Post your goals here, and updates throughout the year, and remind people of their plans too, and then at the end of the year we can all tick off fails and wins.
The list I posted on my blog is a bit long, so I'll edit it down to post here later.

Maybe I'll also get engaged, but we'll see about that.. depends on how well other things go.
