Present at a conference. Not necessarily a big conference, a PhRUG meetup will do.
Submit at least one patch to an open-source project.
Complete and publish at least one game. Nothing fancy required: a Wesnoth map or scenario will do.
Get the devex.com infrastructure to such a mature state that the setup and the lessons learned are worth presenting to a conference.

Half the year’s done, and I feel I haven’t made any real progress. These are the things I’d like to accomplish within the year:
Big Technical Stuff
- Be a Real Technical Lead: draw up a sound technical plan, convince a team to work on it, and lead that team to successfully implementing it
- Learn rSpec – the complete stack: mocks, model tests, controller tests, and runnable user stories
- Learn Solaris
Hobbies
- Buy a bike and ride regularly
- Learn ActionScript, write and publish a web game
- Learn drawing computer game graphics
- Learn photography
After a year of having my own domain and a hosting account, I finally found the cojones to put up my own blog.
