Happy New Year!

It’s 2019, and it feels like about a year has passed quickly since I started blogging.

Looking back now, this is how it feels. Looking at it this way, I’ve dabbled in many different things. This year, I want to narrow my focus a bit more and develop my strengths.

Also, a big thing for me was speaking in front of people for the first time in August. That experience was significant.

Additionally, due to a confluence of good timing at work, I got the opportunity to do VR development, which I had wanted to try!! It really pays to speak up about what you want to do.

Resolutions for 2019

Succeed in the VR Development Project at Work

Since they bought me high-spec machines and several VR headsets, I really want to achieve some results. I strongly feel like using this opportunity to increase the amount of work I want to do.

Increase Blog Update Frequency

I didn’t give up after three days, but in 2018, the pace was about once a month, so the goal is to make it once a week.

Give Presentations

Last year it was only once, so the goal is two or more times.
