It's where I talk to myself. Gaming, politics, and links I don't want to forget about.
I saw The Savages for the Oscar task; not bad, not great. I have no objections at all to Laura Linney’s performance, and I sort of assume Phillip Seymour Hoffman would have gotten the nomination for this if he hadn’t been nominated for Charlie Wilson’s War.
My review is here.
Several days late, but here we go. My 1001 days started on 2/1/2009, and will end on 10/20/2001. For more details, see my launch page.
Some tasks are geekier than others. Right now, the BSD ports collection is not getting updated properly on my server. This has been a small nagging issue that doesn’t actually hurt anything for a couple of years; might as well get it fixed.
The concept is: you make a list of 101 tasks, and you complete them in 1001 days. A year is too short, because if you’ve got a seasonal task like mowing the lawn once and you blow it one year you can’t do it again before your deadline. Also then you don’t get the fun symmetry effect. 101 in 1001. Oooh.
There is a whole site about this idea.
My start date is Sunday, February 1st, 2009. My end date is Sunday, October 30, 2011. I don’t have a full list yet but waiting for that to occur seems doomed to procrastinatory failure.
This blog is my tracking device, so as to avoid clogging up everywhere else I produce content. (Twitter! That’d be funny.)
