2008 New Years Resolutions [by proxy]

January 2nd, 2008 · 1 Comment

As much as I suck at updating my blog with meaningful content and conversation, I suck even worse at resolutions for the new year. So I offer the following resolutions for some of the entities that I think might benefit from a refocused effort to make progress:

  • The iPhone: I resolve to support Flash and Activesych. And I’ll quit crashing so damn much.
  • The FCC: I resolve to embark on massive PR campaign that explains the 2009 DTV imperative. Crap, I shoulda started a while ago if I’m really going to avoid massive backlash from the red states.
  • Ron Paul: I resolve to prepare “told ya so” remarks for my nomination to the Federal Reserve board of governors later this year.
  • Mark Zuckerberg: I resolve to get over my ego and recruit a real CEO to run my business so I can get back to tinkering with my social networking platform.
  • The Blu-ray / HD-DVD pissing contest: I resolve to just give up and realize that at some point this year I will be rendered irrelevant when a new multimedia A/V component is introduced. The new device from Apple/Sony/Amazon will let me download wide varieties of HD and multimedia content onto a massive solid state drive.
  • Yahoo!: I resolve to do something noteworthy, valuable, or innovative or face the unpleasant prospects of being a MSFT acquisition.

I hope these resolutions by proxy are taken into consideration. As for me: I resolved long ago not to make resolutions, but I’ll definitely make more of a difference in 2008.

    Outstanding! How about another one:

    Google Phone: I’ll stop sitting around while the developers say, “Wait! Let’s add this, too!” and actually get used, thereby making the iPhone just another gadget.
