One More Edit...

Motorcycle maintenance class got bumped to my bonus list. In it's place at #97...CURLING!

I've seen a lot of curling during these Winter Games, and it got me in the mood to try it out. So I Googled "curling pittsburgh, pa" and wouldn't you know there's a Pittsburgh Curling Club out on Neville Island! And with the recent spike in the sport's popularity, the PCC is offering up curling lessons for beginners this Saturday, the 27th. All equipment included for only $10! I know how I'll be spending my weekend...

With this addition, here's my updated list...

Another Revision...

Dropped: Office directory portraits
Added: Carve a pumpkin

It's ridiculous that I've never carved a pumpkin. I'm doing it this Halloween. I'd like to eventually do the office portraits though, so it's going on my bonus list.

My updated list...


71. Redesign My Website



Still working out a couple kinks, but the website is up and more or less FINISHED!!! This turned out to be a pretty big undertaking, so it's nice to get it off the list.

A million thank you's to Karen for her tireless dedication. I can't sing her praises enough. She is a wonderful person and a hell of a designer to boot. I couldn't have designed something even remotely as cool without her. Just as an illustration, here's the initial piece of crap template I came up with...



Yeah, exactly. Karen really brought the thunder and bapped this website's dick around.

Lastly, I'd like to thank Mother Nature for "Snowmageddon '10." Without the 2 feet of snow on the ground, we might not have had the chutzpah to hole up in the studio for the last 2 weeks and finish this thing.

44. b. Cross-Country Skiing



Technically, I meant downhill skiing when I made the list. But seeing as this is the first time I've ever had skis of any sort attached to my feet, I'm counting it as a bonus item.

The conditions weren't the best. The ground was crunchy and rough, and I was pretty ill-equipped as far as gear goes (note: 14° weather calls for thicker gloves). Needless to say, we didn't ski long, but over the course of an hour, I think I improved quite a bit. Something I'd definitely like to try again.
