2023 Resolutions


Welcome to my New Year's Resolutions! I feel a little vulnerable sharing my goals publicly and auditing if I failed or succeeded over the year. 

My 2023 Resolutions

1) HACK THE PLANET!

2) Upload to WiGLE every month

3) Post to the blog at least once a month

4) Continue to follow and maintain my vision board.

Don't judge me! I thought they were cheesy and weird, but it's been so effective. I made a blog post about it already, but just as a refresher my current board is below.

A vision board is almost a resolution list in of itself. These are all the things I want to achieve in the near future. 

5) Pass the HAM radio exam

6) Continue in content creation and make articles or a podcast






Let's go over what my resolutions where last year:

My 2022 Resolutions

1) Make it to 500,000 unique wifi networks

I made it in November! I achieved this goal and obtained the gold WiGLE badge. 

2) Upload to WiGLE every month

I made this most months, but not every month. I will try again!

3) Wardrive in a state that is not: Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky or Missouri

Okay technically I wardrove in Florida, but I was there for a business trip, not specifically for wardriving, so I don't know if this counts.

4) Continue to see the trainer once a week

My first trainer quit, and I had an awesome trainer for a few months, but then she got fired/quit. It's not the reason I stopped going, but it's the reason I haven't gone back to training. I feel like I'll just handle my fitness on my own. 

6) Post to the blog at least once a month

I nowhere near achieved this goal this year. I will acknowledge I've been posting more frequently since the fall, but for the entire summer I did not post. This will definitely be a goal that I'm carrying into the new year. 

7) I want to be a better person this year than I was last year.

My therapist says I've grown as a person, so that's an approval, yeah? But all jokes aside, I believe I have become at least a shade better than I was in the previous year.

Studying for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Certification (CLF-C02)

As a solution's architect, I want to keep up on my cloud skills. As noted in my previous New Year's Resolution post , I'm looking to get the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03) exam, and the Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) certification is the one that precedes this SAA-C03 exam.  After speaking to others who have passed the SAA-C03 exam, they mentioned more than half the content is the same as the CLF-C01 exam. The exam has been updated last September and has changed content moving to the C02 edition. So I believe it's foundational to take this exam first.  As a former academic, I have a high standard to passing the exam. While I'm already passing some practice exams, I don't want to sit for the exam until I'm getting over 90% on the practice exams. What's the point of barely scraping by when I'm doing this to truly gain skills and knowledge? Below I'm going to outline what I've been using to study. AWS Skill Builder I do pa
