I was inspired to create this after reading the now page on Derek Sivers’ site. I’ve heard him interviewed on several podcasts and have been harvesting his insights and thinking when I think they’d be useful for making my life better. I’m also adding a “currently reading” section to this as a permanent section.

Tears of the Kingdom
I’m in the final scramble to finish off the game. Stocking up on weapons and supplies to go confront the final boss and finish this off. I’ve spent a ton of time on this (310 hours), and really need to wrap it up.
King Clustering
Running a clustering analysis of Stephen King’s books, looking for interrelationships. Will be posting that as a project to danbailey.dev, demonstrating AI and 3D graphics in a web interface. Currently working on writing the script to tear stuff into chunks.
Blasting through the 101 Things in 1001 Days
My last two quarters (Q3 and Q4) were super productive, and I’m queueing up to have another good one this quarter. My next task is to find an open source project, and contribute to that. I’m probably not going to finish all 101 items unless I win the lottery and just focus like crazy on getting all these things done, but I’m heading for probably ~75% completion.
