I'm doing 37 things
Seeing an idea through to completion is a rewarding process. I’ve invented a directory indexing system for a web page that I’m really proud of. It’s still in progress, but it’s being used on more than one website.

How I did it
It made me
Super happy 
How I did it: I left from Vancouver, BC with my bike and two friends -- I got to there by train, Lorin by bike from Wisconsin, and Cory is a native of Vancouver.We biked south, mostly following the ACA maps, with a little island hopping to see NBTSC friends in Port Townsend and Vashon. We crossed the Columbia 30 miles from Portland, and then biked out to Astoria, and south on US 101 to Newport. We biked in to Corvallis, then south on US 99W into Eugene… Read how I did it…
