101 things to do in 1001 days.
By a suggestion of a friend, I am going to do a 1001 project that is inspired by: http://www.triplux.com/dayzero/
I am going to make it go in sync with my 1096 picture project (http://www.flickr.com/photos/24201026@N08/sets/72157603982554654/), which that project was meant to show how things change for me over the next 3 years.
