Every year, I break down what I did during the previous 365 days. In 2016, my themes were working on Code School, travel, product and exploring my feelings.

This is why I'm still here almost 8 years later.

Exposure to computers from an early age helped me feel comfortable and confident when creating with them later in life.

Code School, Rome, blogging again, health focus, cocktails, video games, personal organization and getting engaged (!).

Spending all of your time something can hold you back.

Code School, travel to Japan, audiobooks, Angular and Mrs. Minafi.

Areas where others guidance has had a huge impact on me.

Sanibel, Miani, Portland, WWDC, BarCampOrlando, lots of Code School courses.

Data viz using the wavy style of XKCD.

Going from not working out to CrossFit every day.

My major focus of 2012 was around living healthy. Going the gym, eating cleaner and using that energy to enjoy life.

My mindset and reason for pursuing minimalism.

Disney, a New York trip, amazing music and live shows.

Write what you'd want to accomplish this year in the past-tense.

The process and cost of LASIK.

Refining development skills, traveling mostly and challenging myself to create more.
