Last year, I started a "What I plan to do to become a better coder" series, and I think it worked out quite well IMHO!

This year, I'm going to expand on certain areas, and focus less on others.  This is more of a general checklist upon which I'll be periodically blogging about updates.  So keep your browser/RSS feeds peeled on this engaging topic! LOL  Ya, I thought that was funny to type/read too! LOL
