Trying to be a bit less of a slacker

I'm back in Cary after three weeks in Asheville, NC, Toledo, Ohio and Windsor, Ontario. I never did make it to New England...maybe in the Spring. Combined with the West Coast Road Trip, I've been completely useless to society for over three months. I've decided it is time to start being productive again, though my first day of it was only mildly successful. Here's some things I'd like to work on:

• Blog


• Finish up Burning Man nrrative
• Wrap up road trip in general
• Post more regularly to maintain readership (Hi, Gramma!)
  
• Post stuff on topics other than travel


• Programming projects


• Learn Python
• Deep dive into Lisp
• Determine some Open Source projects to contribute to
  
• Facebook or Google Gadget application
• Get in a regular X hours per day routine


• Reading


• 10 issues of The Economist in backlog
• Finish Ishmael
• Oodles of economics/science/policy books


• Raleigh Jaycee Haunted House


• Housekeeping


• Help Ju-Hui sell her house in Cary


• Expand my social circle - meetup.com


• Ron Paul 2008
• Independent films
• Nintendo Wii


• Get SCUBA certified


• Reconnect with people after three months away
