Sometimes I just feel like a sponge that soaks up all this information. I get overwhelmed with all the things I haven't learned instead of focusing on my strengths and my unique perspectives on design and life. I am looking forward to what you have to say in 2009. It's blogs like this that really offer something worthwhile and thought provoking that I will definitely keep at the top of hopefully shrinking subscription list in 2009. Keep it up! Oh and please do write about more cafes in the Seattle area. I am always looking for good places to go to get out of my cold, lonely basement. Well put.

Self-promotion is also one of my top goals for 2009, it was something that I needed to do in 2008 (but didn't, for various reasons). In fact, this week - my attention is very much geared towards how I can promote myself more. One of my biggest obstacles right now though is my current lack of a (Live) portfolio - so I'm sort of rebuilding my reputation at the moment. I'm very intrigued to see which side-projects you get launched this year, and I hope you are successful with your aims for 2009. Best wishes, Matt.

I, too, share the desire to unsubscribe to more feeds. Something I find very difficult to do, just as you described: the feeling of somehow missing out on that latest tidbit or trick. I'm noticing a trend in my Google Reader stats showing more reads of blogs like this one (e.g. a fellow web dev business professional talking business) rather than 'CSS-tips' blogs regurgitating the same tips found on Smashing Magazine. Thanks for sharing your 2009 goals. They're inspirational. Excellent post. I, too, share the desire to unsubscribe to more feeds.

I'm still trying to get over the idea of feed reading being like email-- meaning I don't need to read every one of my feeds! Like you, I find that if I communicate more, my design sensibilities improve as well. As that improves, I get more inspired, etc., etc. I agree with you on the “Blog more, surf less” concept.
