For myself I enjoyed playing around with Chyrp! (a blogging engine) and it is designed such that modules or themes can readily be built around it - but I am sure there are plenty of other similar possibilities with other apps out there I have no idea how you are doing with the Open Source resolution – but if a full blown app is proving challenging for a year then what about taking a look at an existing project and adding a significant feature?

It's hard to keep yourself motivated, but that's why I think small steps are helpful. Have you played a game called Scramble 2 on your iPhone? It's a good mind training activity and you might enjoy it. Check out my latest post for a short description: http://www.serializethis.com/2010/01/28/top-10-apps-for-2010/ Thanks for reading and commenting!

Congratulations on starting your new blog, it's so far been a great read that has inspired me to establish (and actually follow through) a few goals to keep myself on track. One of my goals, which I feel incorporates into yours, is not only keeping my body fit and healthy, but also my mind. As a result I have been trying to do half an hour of mind training activities, such as sudoku, each day to keep my brain stimulated. Thankfully there are many Iphone Apps that allow me to do this while being able to record my best efforts in the form of a highest score leader-board. I have also incorporated my friends into my resolution by challenging them to beat my score (I'm the champion so far!) but it does make me step my game up. I hope to read some more interesting posts from you in the future! It sounds like you are really well prepared for this upcoming year.
