Well it is a new year finally, as 2009 ends and all that we made of it 2010 begins and allows us to make new choices.  As for me I plan on changing a lot in my life.  I for one want to lose a lot of weight.  I want to see at least 2 new places.  I also want to create a stable goal oriented life for myself.  I have a lot of things I want to do this year.  I want to try to come up with a 1 year plan, a daily thing that helps me stay focused. 

I read on lifehacker of this idea that someone had about taking 1 picture a day of something that is significant to me and to choose a day does not have to be the 1st of the year but some day this year and make a resolution to take 1 photo a day for 365 days.  Now I know my birthday falls on May 15th so that is a long ways off but I feel this is a very significant year for me it is my last year that I will be in my 20's so starting today the 1st of the year I am going to take a picture of anything with the number 81 on it.  The reason for that number is cause '81 was the year I was born so I am going to make a significant photo montage of my year of birth.  Now technically I will have taken 498 pictures since my bday is on the 133rd day of the year but it will still be good for me to keep that goal for this year.

Another goal of mine is to try and post more often on both my blog site and my website.  In order to do that I am going to need to devote more time to myself this year and travel more often.  I want everyone's suggestions given to me out there for ways of making it happen.

By the way I have not figured out if I am going to start a flickr page of my "81's" or if I wont let anyone see them till my 30th bday.  I will think of something maybe I will post teasers of each of them.

Below is a recording of the 1980-1981 ball dropping on time square kicking off the year of my birth thanks to the wonderful youtube.com

 

 

 

 

In a recent story I just saw come across one of my feeds, I saw a story that Airbus is creating a new aircraft.  From the looks of it I am thinking it is only concept but the story really goes in to depth on the Airbus A30X.  It talks about the concepts most likely not being available for at least 15 years but one never knows and always hopes for a sooner more futuristic aircraft.  Here is the link to the story about it.    http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/flightblogger/2009/09/airbus-global-market-forecast.html At the end of this post I will include some pictures of the concepts that they are planning.

In other news I have started work on my own Travel & Photography website.  I plan on it having up to date news and info being piped in to it and I also hope to add my own 2 cents in to it from my experience in the travel industry.  I plan on posting all of my pictures from all of my travels on the site too and have a very extensive forums for people to come on and submit their own stuff and talk to others interested in the same thing.  The site is http://www.cinimod.net

I recently went to a Twestival event to help the St. Mary's Food Bank here is Arizona and had a lot of fun thanks to a fellow tweet @MsHerr on twitter.  I got some pictures not too many as I had brought my large camera not my small one and really was just trying to meet people.  If you want to know more about meetups in Arizona or anywhere else in the world like this they have a site devoted to these things http://twestival.com/

Well this morning I woke up decided I was going to hike Papago Park.  I started at the base of the rock, went up to the hole in the rock took a bunch of pictures out the hole and through it and from it.  I then walked down and around to the pyramid tomb on the otherside of the park.  Took some more pictures and then proceeded back down around the lake to snap some ducks and the lake.

The was was great feels good to get some walking in the sun.  Next week I think my mom and I will be going to South Mountain for a hike up there. 

At 3:00pm MST I will be recording with @jnolan the new Heroes Podcast.  This podcast will be Justin and I talking about Heroes, since I have never seen it we are starting from episode one.  Should be fun later I will let you know what the website is to access the episodes and read about us and talk on our forums.
