43things
So I finally figured out 43things. Heard about it for a while, never took the 30 seconds it would take to grok it. In any case, I’ve started using it and replaced the list of stuff on my goals page. Much easier to keep up-to-date.
A year and a half.
I set up a bunch of smart playlists to help me finish this. Each playlist is 3 unrated songs from my library. One playlist per day.
I’ve been rating 3 songs a day for a while now. I still have a ton of unrated songs, but I have found a few gems that I didn’t even know I had.
That said, at this rate (Ha! No pun intended) it will take me over a year and a half to rate them all. That’s assuming I rate all my new music as it comes in… which, in fact, I’ve been very good at.
Now, realistically, a year and a half isn’t all that long when you consider that this incarnation of my iTunes library has existed for over two years now, and I still have 1800+ unrated songs. I just wasn’t getting around to rating vast swaths of my library because, lets face it, that’s boring as hell.
611 days to go.
See more progress on: rate all my songs on iTunes

Dude, I got a power rack and…
I finally got a power cage as part of a whole set of stuff. I saw it on craigslist Thursday night, and it was in my garage Saturday afternoon. 
So here’s what I got…
- Power cage
- Oly bar
- IronMaster adjustable dumbbells, up to 120 each
- Power hooks
- Plate mates
- A ton of oly plates (well not literally, a 1/4 ton, literally)
- FID bench
- Trap bar
There’s some other misc stuff that I don’t fully understand. He had bought the set off of some guy who was apparently very hardcore. He had welded together some pipe fittings to be able to load plates on and work on his outward grip… i.e., put hand in the pipe and push out, then pull up the plates. Ow.
And last, but not least, a picture of all the stuff disassembled in my garage.

Make 2007 == 2002
I need to duplicate the dedication I had in 2002 to make this year’s chart look like this:

I like Ruby on Rails.
For simple things like this:
ruby script/generate scaffold user admin
It means exactly what it sounds like when you read it aloud, “Generate scaffold for user admin.”
