If the buzz is any indicator, Apple is getting ready to reveal iPhone OS 4.0, along with it's new tablet. Apparently, the new iPhone OS and the OS for the tablet will be very similar, so Apple has been hesitant to reveal the iPhone OS until the tablet has been revealed.

Before the new OS is revealed, I figured I'd post a few things that I would like to see Apple do.

Last year I posted some New Year's Resolutions. So I thought it would be a good idea to quickly assess how well I did with them as well as make some new ones for 2010.

My first iPhone App, Petter, is available in the App Store!

It took a bit longer to get out there than I had anticipated (about 2 months longer), but it's finally out and it's been quite a learning experience.

I usually don't bother making New Year's resolutions. But I recently wrote down some things that I would like to do in 2009, so I thought I'd post them on here as well.

• Update This Site More Regularly. I often think of things to post on this site, but I procrastinate. Then, by the time I get around to writing, the topic is no longer relevant. I really need to be more disciplined when it comes to updating this site.


• Get Some iPhone Applications Published on the App Store. As you probably already know, I've been messing around with iPhone development lately. In 2009, I'm planning to have multiple iPhone applications available on the App Store (even if they're just small ones).


• Launch Project X. Few people even know what this is, and I intend to keep it that way until launch. But trust me, it's going to be awesome.


• Become Much More Proficient with Adobe Flex and ColdFusion. I love these technologies and the direction that they're going. Now I just need to make sure that I stay on top of things.


• Contribute to an Open Source Project. I've been wanting to do this for a while, I'm not sure which project I want to contribute to yet. Right now, I'm thinking about either Drupal or ClanLib, but I haven't decided.


• Make Significant Progress on Memories of Hyrule. Ugh, this thing... it haunts me. Alright, look - I would love to say that I want it finished in 2009, but I absolutely refuse to put any kind of intended release date on this thing (even a vague one). It will be done when it's done (and perfect). End of story. I will however, at least say that I plan to get a lot of work done on it in 2009.


• Become an Internet Millionaire. Yup.  :)

I actually did it. Only three blog posts later and I've splurged on the new MacBook Pro. I actually got it about a week ago, but I didn't post anything on here because I've been too busy playing with my new toy. :)

All I really have to say is that this thing is BY FAR the best computer I've ever owned! From the look and feel of the hardware, to Mac OS X Leopard itself, everything just looks and feels like it's been engineered to perfection.

I hate to say it, but I've become an instant fanboy.

I have the sudden urge to buy one of the new MacBook Pros. I don't think I've ever owned an Apple product in my life (I don't even own an iPod), but for some reason I just have to have one of these! Maybe staring at Kevin's MacBook on Diggnation every week has finally triggered something in my brain (I was actually watching Diggnation while typing this).
