How I did it
It made me
fulfilled 
How I did it: I usually browsed through the Zeitgeist to find goals or "How to" entries to cheer.After I got a few hundred cheers in by doing random cheering, I then started making it part of my daily routine to login and look for worthwhile things to cheer for or comment on.If you've ever wanted to hone your follow-through, this is a good way to do it.I took up this goal like I take up most goals in my life… completely underestimating how hard it woul… Read how I did it…
It made me
million bucks!
How I did it: This is the most unforgettable thing to do for a woman ever. Your girlfriend will LOVE it. It takes a bit of nerve, but the look on their face is so priceless... it's totally worth it.1: Cut a hole in a box 2: Put your junk in that box 3: Make her open the boxIt's the new diamond ring!

It made me
Happy + Frustrated 
How I did it: I actually had a great time in Japan. I lived in Kobe for a month in a normal neighborhood with my own apartment and everything. It was massively culture-shocking to be immersed in Japanese life because it is orthogonal to Western culture in almost every way... so that's fun.

PrimeGrid Alliance!
1 month ago
I recently talked with the admins of a related project (PrimeGrid) and they are going to begin collaborating with us by allowing their users to run work from our project (SB) on their system!
This is great! PrimeGrid is a well-run sister project that has a solid platform and a large user base. In fact, they already have over 20,000 users as of Jan 2009 so by joining forces, I effectively achieve this goal!
So I’m very excited about our collaboration. Yay!
Watching Waking Life gives you more vivid dreams
1 month ago
It’s common advice to tell people who want to lucid dream or have better dream recall to watch movies or read books / online tutorials about it. It not really the information that helps, but just being in the frame of mind where you’re thinking about having amazing dreams that does it.
Well I wanted to report that watching Walking Life before I go to sleep is a very effective way for me to stimulate my own dreams. I consistently have more vivid dreams that are easier to recall in the morning for my dream journal when I watch this movie.
I recommend this to anyone trying to improve dream recall or get full-on lucid dreams.
