2016 in Review

It’s the first day of 2017. I’m here at a coffee shop using my bluetooth keyboard typing this post on my 5.2-inch Android smartphone. I was thinking of other things to do other than try download some virtual reality games for my smartphone, so I thought I could have my life’s year in review for 2016.

I really cannot do a per month basis, as I know I have rather few things I would like to include here. Let’s get right to it:

• Designed, coded, and put online my personal learning project, the Integrated Performance Management Information System. The online system uses PHP and MySQL.
• Established a small team of colleagues intent on learning how to improve productivity and quality through information technology. The group is called “Everything Goes Club.”
• This is not really an accomplishment, but I would call a shift in appreciation for risk-based decision-making. I would say that, probably, due to my focus on learning, I have made risk-taking more frequently. It started with trying out code even though I was afraid it would not work, just so that I could find out what’s wrong with it and fix it. I hope the initial experience would not be the same for my other decisions with risks, God willing.

I think that’s all. Two actual accomplishments and one shift in behavior.

Let’s see what would happen in 2017.
