101 in 1001: The Final Update
Posted on 09/18/07 @ 10:48 am

I can't believe in just a week, it'll have been 1001 days since I wrote out this list of things to do. I haven't done an update in a while, but I figure I should go ahead and wrap up the updates on this list so I can start on the second one. (That's right…I'm doing another 101/1001.)

What I learned from going through this process is that it helps a lot to give yourself tangible, concrete goals that can be measured. Take my #96: "Eat more fruits and vegetables." Well…I was eating a lot of them before, so how can I quantify "more"? An extra stalk of asparagus? Another strawberry for dessert? Next time around, I just need to do better about how I do my tasks. A good bit of these may turn up on my next list though…we'll see. Overall, I accomplished 51 out of 101 tasks. Not bad, but I could've done better.

Well, here are the ones which I never got around to during my original 101/1001:

Reach Out and Spam Someone
Posted on 01/01/07 @ 7:01 pm

I just checked my Spam folder today and came across two month's worth of e-mails, so I'm busy tonight responding and such. This one struck me as odd though:

HEY KARSH, WHAT'S UP…

I just wanted to tell u, that I really luv ur blogg and especially your podcasts!
I have seen that one of ur 101 in 1001 is "Paris in Spring", yeah baby so
see u in spring07 over here in Europe?

Whatever, go on with ur good work as a blogger – I'll be on the website every fuckin' single day!

thanks and merry x-mas to u karsh!

And while the sentiment is nice and all…the rest of the e-mail was straight up spam, with grainy porn pictures and such embedded in the body. I'd have to say, this was probably the oddest spam e-mail I've ever received. At least chica did her homework on the 101/1001 (which I need to update).

Sorry boo. Don't think Europe in '07 is gonna be an option for me.

Another 101/1001 Update
Posted on 07/18/06 @ 11:30 am

I haven't visited my 101/1001 goals in a while, so it might be time for a quick peek.

  • 4. Write a book. This is going to be a huge source of contention for me because I can't decide on if I should do a science fiction book or a roman à clef based on my shitty work experiences.
  • 11. Develop BlackComix into more than just ideas in my head. This is actually tied into #4, the sci-fi book idea.
  • 24. Stop drinking soda for a month. I'm trying, but dude…Vault is SO good! I am trying though. I usually drink a Vault then down four 12-oz. glasses of water.
  • 28. Eliminate my credit card debt. T-minus $300 baby. Kids, don't sign up for credit cards in college just to get free schwag.
  • 42. Launch Soapbloggers. Now, I've been sitting on this domain name now for about two years, but I realize I will need a partner if I really get it up and going. Any takers to write a dedicated multi-author blog on everything dealing with current American soap operas? I got dibs on All My Children.
  • 67. Drink at least 6 glasses of water daily (8 oz.). Tied into #24.
  • 72. Enlist the help of a financial advisor. Done and done — found a kick-ass one through my credit union who helped me straighten out my 401(k) monies into a conventional IRA and then opened up a separate Roth IRA as well. Also plunked some cash down into a CD to take out in five years for…well, who knows what? I'm just glad I'm starting to get these coins under control.
  • 82. Learn Flash and Dreamweaver. I've pretty much got Dreamweaver under control and getting a handle on Flash. I did this little front page slideshow thing at work (sort of like Comcast.com) that went over very well. Truth be told, though, I do not like working with Flash. However, there's nary a developer job that comes through that doesn't require it.
  • 86. Save $2000 or more. Tied into #72.
  • 99. Crash my family reunion. I have some special plans for that. Of course, first I have to contact my estranged great aunt in Cleveland who's information I received from Death to Shakespeare. I also learned that my Uncle Buddy is rolling through the ATL for a government conference and wants to see his only nephew that's not in jail! If anything, there's a dinner at Kyma in it for me.
