101 in 1001

I first saw this on a someone's site (I forgot how I stumbled upon it) and thought it was a cool idea. The entire idea starts at Triplux and follows from there. A list of 101 things to accomplish in 1001 days, which gives me roughly until 10/6/2009, about 9:16 in the morning. I've been mulling over this list for a while, and thought, "Even if I only do half of these things, it's better than nothing." So here it goes. I reserve the right to replace boring tasks with more interesting ones.
