101 in 1001
So I'm starting a little project called "101 in 1001." I feel like I've become a bit complacent since leaving grad school, and I'm pretty sure this program is going to kick my ass over the next couple years. The basic premise is to achieve 101 goals in 1001 days. More information here. I'm going to try and post once a week on Sundays to update on my progress for the week.
