A couple of New Year’s resolutions:
- I should probably take down this 2007 calender and get a 2008 one.
- Are we supposed to set the clocks forward or back? Oh, that’s spring and fall. Nevermind. Just the calender thing, then.

The Best of 2015
My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2015.
Programming Vexations
Here is a 13 part series where I talk about programming games, programming languages, and programming problems.
If Star Wars Was Made in 2006?
Imagine if the original Star Wars hadn't appeared in the 1970's, but instead was pitched to studios in 2006. How would that turn out?
Dead Island
A stream-of-gameplay review of Dead Island. This game is a cavalcade of bugs and bad design choices.
Why The Christmas Shopping Season is Worse Every Year
Everyone hates Black Friday sales. Even retailers! So why does it exist?
Those a good, doable resolutions. I like them… I’l put mine up later today :).
Happy new year Shamus, please continue bringing on the funnies, ranties and geekeries!
2007? Hmm…. I think I’ve got a 2005 calendar up somewhere still.
Calendar? You mean that thing in my task tray right? The one that tells me the time and date…
Don’t bother, somebody forgot to buy new calendars for this year–maybe we will just skip it.
I’m with Gebiv here, except that I KNOW that I have a 2006 calendar up in my Study right now.
As Homer Simpson once said, “Sure, it’s not 2006 right NOW, but who KNOWS what the future may bring?”

My New Years Resolution is 1440x900x2 ^_^

New Calender? Pfft, this means the one still hanging from 1980 is good again. Woohoo!
I need a new calendar for work…
There’s no new year’s resolution that will make me take down my 1985 Bangles calendar…
Leaving your neighbors sheep alone would be nice…. happy new year bro. and we ARE playing this week…. your house…noon… tell the rest of the nerds…
My 2001 calender will forever hang on my wall, I don’t care how dated it gets.
Happy new year!
I don’t use calenders.
I’m not in to time, man.
I’ve got a little “todo list” whiteboard with a month calendar grid on it… I can say with some certainty that it stopped being useful sometime before the last time Jan 1 was on a Sunday.
365 days of Irish Banter and Profane Words was on my desk last week. Others around me have paged through the first few weeks. Nothing is sacred any more.
steve….dude… is your wavatar… a samurai penguin?
You set the clock forward in the spring, you move it left in the summer, you set it back in the autumn, and you move it right in the winter.
Everyone knows that!
I resolved to keep on top of the mail this year (snail-mail, that is). I must intend to keep it, since I gave my wife full nagging rights over unopened and unsorted mail.

I resolve not to make any New Year’s Resolutions.
I mean…
Ah well, another year, another failure.
The perfect New Year’s gift:

My digital watch blinked out months ago, but I waited until today to replace the battery. This way, I don’t have to set the date.

well.. it’s a penguin with a sword.
In some circles i am known as deathblade_penguin
(dont ask)
Well, just dropping by to wish the obligatory happy new year to y’all.

All of my resolutions have to do with spending less on toys, never using a credit card ever again (haven’t used one since Oct), paying credit cards off, canceling them all and never getting another one, and cleaning and organizing my existing toy collection.
ryanlb: Credit cards are cruel things. Good luck with your resolution!
