It\'s a new year and all that fun jazz. I figured I\'d publish what my goals are for this platform and my security life, **SO** in no particular order let\'s do this - **Getting a certification:** This has been on my goal list for like 2 years and this year I mean it. I want to get my network+ or security+ cert as stepping stones to the CISSP. - **Attend Black Hat:** I think I\'ll financially be in a place to make this one happen. I don\'t know what to expect but I\'m excited that it is actually within reach. - **Give a talk:** I would love to give a talk on a random topic that I am working on. I\'m not sure what that looks like just yet but I\'m working on CFPs that are good for beginners. - **More hardware projects:** So hardware doesn\'t always fall into security for me but I want to do more of it. I have an idea of a few home automation and server-y things I want to get done so I\'m hoping to get them done while streaming on online and publishing the code. I think these are all my major goals for the year. If we are being honest I always fail at these goals so I\'m not sure why I make a list every year. This year I\'m a bit more relaxed with my list. I\'m not going to push myself too hard and I\'ll just let the good things happen. Hope you guys had a happy holidays and start your year of strong. We going to crush 2019!
