Do you have a life list?

There's an interesting article at http://smithmag.net/2006/10/15/whats-on-your-list/ about a list of things we want to do before we die. Seems to fit somewhere in the realm of the someday/maybe but on a more personal and grand level.

Oh, lists... I need to visit India before I die. And write a book.

I haven't written mine down, but I crossed two things off this year: learn to use chopsticks and learn to drive a standard. My next two things are to pay off my credit card debt and then my student loans. After that, I can make a more detailed list.

I think this is the kind of thing folks are using 43things for. I have a list on there as well such as "learn croatian," "take my wife to alaska," and "record a CD of original songs."

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
