My original 30 Before 30 post is here, and the rest of my posts on this topic can be found here. This page will be an updated list, with the things I’ve accomplished crossed off, even if I haven’t written about them yet! Because, well, some of them are so dull that I may never write about them at length.
This list was revised on August 11, 2011. The original list can still be found here.
