interesting idea? or uninteresting gimmick checklist thing? or both?

i came across an idea i hadn't seen before -- "101 in 1001". the idea is to make a list of 101 things (ideally, specific and measurable things) to do in the space of 1001 days (about 2.75 years).

i'm not even sure if i could come up with a list of 101 things. which kinda makes me tempted to try to do so.

hmmm.

lj dying?

lj is on the rocks, having just trashed a big chunk of the tech folks.

bryant has a post with useful resources for archiving your journal.

ETA: to be clear, i don't think lj is going to fall over dead tomorrow. or even this week. but if you've been tempted to archive your journal, this might be a good time to do it.

update on the state of the lj

lj has a twitter feed!

"LJers! Don't worry, the news of our demise is premature.Yes, there were layoffs, but that does not affect your LJ!" and then a link to a press release

still probably a good idea to back up your journal occasionally, tho, :-)
