I'm doing 27 things
I have a lot of great ideas for an outdoors/hiking/climbing-themed site and app, and I just need to get down to it and implement the thing.

How I did it
It made me
proud 
How I did it: Started walking north from Springer Mountain 5/6/2010. Used David Miller's A.T. Guide to plan resupply/town stops on the go (this is the only way to do it-planning further than 5 days ahead on your thru-hike is massively futile). Hiked every day whether I felt like it or not (apart from my days off, which ended up numbering over 25 due to spending a week in DC with friends and getting Lyme disease). Summitted Katahdin 10/5/10. Read how I did it…

It made me
feel retro
How I did it: I went to New Orleans with a friend. His car was a stick-shift. He wanted a break, so I took over somewhere in Alabama. Yeah, it still shuddered when I shifted, and I stalled a couple of times, but trial by fire worked - I can do it okay now. Read how I did it…

I’ve gone from fighting against vi every time I open it to being unable to imagine why I would use anything else for programming, so I guess this is done. The janus plugins set helped, but mostly it came down to forcing myself to use it and lots of pair programming with experts.
I think it’s safe to say that I’ve “done” this since I first created the goal. I now regularly dedicate quite a lot of time to reading.
