Went for a quick hike this afternoon at Bear Creek Trail. It was a really nice day out today (55 degrees), but as you can tell by the pond, it has been incredibly cold (for what us former Californians are used to).

2017 Resolutions
Better Late Than Never: My 2017 Resolutions
Because sometimes life gets in the way of your best-laid plans
Who publishes their 2017 resolutions in May of 2017? Me, of course! I’ve been busy, people!
Life has a way of filling up your calendar when you least expect it. Between work projects, family adventures, and a few unexpected detours, my annual tradition of sharing resolutions got pushed back a bit. But as they say — better late than never!
For my eighth consecutive new years resolution post, I decided to create another custom PHP page to track my progress throughout the year. This interactive format helps me stay accountable while practicing my development skills. Two birds, one stone!
What about you? Have you stuck with your resolutions this year, or have they evolved as the months have passed? Let me know in the comments below!

My 7th Annual New Year’s Resolutions: The Interactive Edition
Where personal goals meet web development creativity
For my seventh consecutive year of publishing New Year’s resolutions, I decided to shake things up. Instead of my usual text-based article format, I challenged myself to create something more dynamic and engaging: a custom interactive PHP page that tracks my goals throughout the year.
This project served a dual purpose. First, it helped me visualize and track my personal goals for 2016 in a more engaging way. Second, it gave me a chance to practice my web development skills, combining design and functionality into something both useful and (hopefully) visually appealing.
Why I Create Annual Resolution Posts
These annual resolution posts have become a tradition for me over the years. They help me:
- Reflect on what I truly want to accomplish
- Create public accountability for my goals
- Track my progress throughout the year
- Look back on my journey from year to year
Moving to an interactive format makes this process even more engaging for both me and my readers. You can see my progress in real-time, rather than just reading about my intentions at the start of the year.
I hope you enjoy exploring this interactive resolution tracker as much as I enjoyed creating it! Have you tried any creative ways to track your own goals? I’d love to hear about them in the comments below.
