wow. this list is fantastic/amazing/inspiring and crazy!!
keep us posted on these!
I would agree with crazy, but I'm not sure about the other adjectives. Thanks.
I tried to pick items that would better me and I really tried to pick items that are well defined. I found a lot of 101 in 1001 days lists with items like: "Be more conscientious." Sure, being thoughtful is great, but how do you measure your progress?
Hi there,
Quite an aggressive list. Is this all supposed to happen in 2010? You better start…
I have several questions/comments about this:
1. Why would you want to visit Phoenix?
2. What is a dual flush toilet?
3. #53 will wipe out #33
4. How many super bowls are there?
5. Make soap? Now, how did you think of that?

Zorana,
No, the idea is you try to accomplish 101 tasks in 1001 days which is about 2.75 years.
1. My cousin and his family live in Phoenix and I've never been there. It's also close to the Grand Canyon.
2. Here's a dual flush toilet: http://www.totousa.com/ProductDetail/tabid/75/Default.aspx?ProductId=42e0479a-e503-4024-b98f-2741b73553c6&SearchId=0c3de7fc-4aeb-4f95-b7d3-f15aeb9774b1. The idea is you need less water for flushing liquid wastes versus solid so why not have the ability to adjust the amount of water flushed?
3. Flying first class internationally would be expensive so I might "settle" for business class.
4. There's only one Super Bowl and I meant hold a party for two out of the three in the challenge window. I didn't mean hold two parties for the same Super Bowl.
5. I read a bunch of lists while making my own and saw making soap on someone's so I borrowed it for my list. I liked Fight Club as well, but I don't think I'll make soap from human fat.
Right on! What a fun project to tackle. I've vowed to make 2010 my year of local tourism, as I realized (to my shame) that I had spent 3 1/2 years in the South Bay and still hadn't seen the Winchester Mystery House. So far I've seen a lot of places and have learned a ton about the local history.
Projects like yours are really cool. I hope you are able to do them all!
