30 things to do before I'm 30: one year later

A year ago I made a sort of New Year’s/birthday resolution to complete 30 things before I turned 30. Now that I am 30, I am sad to say only 11 items have been finished. My Moleskine is still blank, and Ido still hasn’t gotten a letter from me. So, it’s time to make this an ongoing list:

Update: Last minute update to the list! Now 12 items completed!

1. Graduate.
2. Publish at least one academic paper.
3. Revamp this blog. But I have plans to revamp again!
4. Build a portfolio.
5. Complete unfinished website projects.
6. Learn PHP.
7. Learn AJAX.
8. Learn Flash.
9. Master Photoshop.
10. Master “CSS”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascading_Style_Sheets. I can’t say that I’ve mastered it, but I’m definitely furthest along in this regard
11. Learn to use our Digital Rebel.
12. Receive my green card (it is coming soon!).
13. Make money (Graduate stipends don’t count). Go “Goldstar!”:http://www.goldstar.com
14. Own an iPhone.

24. Organize cluttered email inboxes.
25. Sleep earlier and wake up earlier. Can’t do much else when you work
26. Watch Season 6 of 24.
27. Help Chanlee with her Mandarin.
28. Write down ideas in my Moleskine notebook.
29. Have a site featured on CSS Remix or CSS Beauty.
