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.

Maybe this is incorrect in...

Maybe this is incorrect in the grand scheme of things, but I keep such life goals on my someday/maybe list. I try to review this weekly and decide whether my current circumstances would fit with starting one of these goals. Obviously, items such as "go on an Alaskan cruise" aren't possible overnight, but that doesn't mean there's not a next action I could do now.

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

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