On my 21st birthday, just a couple of months after this blog was born, I set myself a challenge of doing 100 things in 1001 days. Some months later, I forgot all about it and the list then sank without a trace in The Great Blog-Loss of 2008.
Some 4 years later, the list has been reincarnated; gone are the deadlines, the apathy and the pointless things I no longer have any interest in doing and in their places are new goals and a fresh enthusiasm. The list is in no particular order and is forever growing.
Bold items are in progress, Crossed-out items are completed.
