As the bio says, I am trying to do a new thing every week for a year beginning September 1st. This is the preliminary list - things that most likely won’t get done (due to their stupidity), but at least make me feel like I have options. The goal is to write an entry per week about the process of finding a way to do these new things, the actual event, and the after-effects/overall experience evaluation. If you have any suggestions, please post them in the comments section.
