1. I am utterly and completely exhausted. Well, not quite. It’s not like some of those long multi-day or multi-week grinds during the Army, but I’m definitely fatigued. It’s okay. Totally worth it.

Can anyone explain to me what the benefit of using Microsoft’s Tag instead of QR codes? I don’t see that it truly offers anything that QR codes doesn’t, and the fact that it’s in color only serves to increase my printing costs. Anyone?
Non-Fiction: The Four-Hour Body by Tim Ferriss Ferriss left me thinking a lot about hacking in 2011. Not just one’s body, but everything. I didn’t put much of this into practice in 2011, but for 2012, I’ll be trying more of it. Crush It! by Gary Vaynerchuk Left me saying “fuck yeah!” and inspired me [...]
You’ll notice that there was no update from October through December. October was a crazy-assed month and I didn’t really accomplish much, and it only got worse. Here’s how it went: Items accomplished in October-December: 1 Total items accomplished: 27/101 Percentage complete: 26.7% Items Completed in October-December: 61.
