I don’t know, but here are some of the things I look forward to in 2010.

Books

John Resigs new book Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja

Music

The Depeche Mode koncert in Horsens in February. Depeche Mode AND Nitzer Ebb in one evening…wow! It’ll be the soundtrack of my youth….only 15 years to late!

Software

Better late than never! At work we’ll be switching to WebSphere Application Server 7.0 which means that I’ll finally start using Java 6.0, which the rest of the world has been using since 2006, hurrah!

Hardware

The new iPhone which I hope we’ll see in the summer of 2010.

Other

Watching our children grow older, Tour de France and Paris Roubaix (of course), Toy Story 3.

I’ve probably forgot a lot, but I’ll continue updating the list over the coming weeks.

Happy new year!
