My 101 in 1001

So this is copied from the original blog I posted it on (2-21-2010). I'd like to keep it updated on here:

I just recently came across an idea called 101 in 1001. It's a list of 101 goals you set for yourself that you have 1001 days to complete. Since I've been too busy to physically create something to put on this blog this week, I'm going to start this list. To keep myself accountable:

0. Finish this list by Friday (2-24-10)

Hokay. Now that we have a goal, I can get started. Since I had no idea when 1001 days from now will be, I did some Googling and found this helpful tool. Completion date will officially be
November 18, 2012.
