I’m not a big fan of resolutions, and it’s not because I think I will fail (ok.. maybe it is). Let’s just pretend that I’d rather set myself daily goals and do my best to achieve those. With the New Year just passing, I figured I’d hit up the LP Crew and ask them about previous and current resolutions, favorite geeky gadget of 2007 and most memorable event in 2007.

Last Year’s Resolution: I set new motives, defined new horizons, but unfortunately failed again! Still, I kept on trying and working hard by stimulating the spirit of life and tried to live it up in as efficient way as I could, which actually brought the success I was looking for and helped me a lot in my long-term ambitions.

Did you stick to it? - Yes, for some time. Aborting these goals would have depressed me, while sticking to them helped somehow, as the truest valor is to dare to live your life.

Most memorable event in 2007: It would be when I joined LP. I love working with Dani; though, I can’t express my gratitude to her, but, I guess these words will do. I am also impressed by Lee, Amy, and of course the inquisitive Vlad, whose heuristic skills always impress me!
