Seems to be the trend these days to ‘review’ the year, and since I am nothing if not a trend-follower (snicker)… Here goes.

In 2010 I:

• Got married – well, we had our official wedding, anyway
• Shipped Office 2010 and joined a new team at work
• Started teaching Web Design at Issaquah High School
• Learned to write apps for Windows Phone 7
• Moved from Mercer Island to Lynnwood
• **Almost **downed the Lich King in Icecrown Citadel – hopefully I’ll get him during the guild run on Monday!
• I bought an iPad
• Gained weight
• Grew a beard
• Learned firsthand the challenges of living near the in-laws

In 2011, I predict the following things will happen:

• I’ll stay married
• I’ll keep shipping software as part of Office
• I’ll prepare to teach another bunch of high school students the awesomeness of Web Design
• I’ll share what I’ve learned so far from my experience teaching here on tylerbutler.com
• I’ll re-theme/redesign tylerbutler.com
• I’ll lose weight, then gain much of it back
• I’ll shave my beard and vow never to grow it again
• I’ll ship the first of what I hope will be several apps for Windows Phone 7
• I’ll dig in and start hardcore learning HTML 5
• I’ll speak at some conference somewhere
• I’ll buy some new Apple gadget, but probably not a phone
• I’ll build a new computer so I can play WoW on Ultra
• Elizabeth will start graduate school
• We’ll get either a second car or a second dog
• I won’t take nearly enough vacation
• I won’t play nearly enough video games
• I won’t have nearly enough time to code
