43Things.com is shutting down! I don’t think I used the site much, but I decided to export my content anyway. It turns out that I’m not terribly exciting or keen on goal-setting… I guess. Remember how I never formally ‘finished’ my 101 goals list? Someday I’ll do a little write up about it. Maybe.

Anyway, it’s an interesting reflection to see what I was up to seven years ago (because I’m sure I logged in twice and then forgot about the site)…
