New Year: To-do list and goals

posted in: Build Me by Michael Una on January 03, 2010

In 2010, I aim to accomplish the following things:

1. Get smarter about money and finance. Last year I started a small business project to make and sell my Beep-its and other things, and they sold well but I was terrible at keeping track of in/outflow of funds. Thus, I have no metrics to analyze and use to plan my activities this year. So, item number one is to start keeping better track of everything and maintain a tight awareness of what’s happening with my finances.

2. Release two new products: A sequencer synth, and a drum machine. With printed circuit boards and laser-cut enclosures. And to have them maintain a decent profitablility while keeping the price below $100.

3. Build some new non-product art devices. Like an oscillator-controlled Harmonograph:

And other devices that use heartbeats and brainwaves. It seems that in 2009 I swung my art practice heavily towards sound-device making, and I want to make sure I keep things broad and investigate new avenues of thought.

That’s the plan, anyway.
