When I began this journey of 50 for 50 I knew exactly what I wanted to achieve, yet my approach was vague. I jumped in enthusiastically, tackling tasks at random and celebrating early victories. But around the six-month mark, things shifted. The initial easy wins faded, leaving me in what can generously be described as…
This was an interesting one as the sources of learning ended up being pretty varied. There were two books I read “Co-Intelligence” and “The AI Driven Leader”, I watched a ton of YouTube videos and took a few training classes (some virtual, some in person). I came into this thinking AI could be a useful…
Wow. That was quite a journey. I’m honestly still processing the fact that I managed to complete everything. Looking back, I’ve spent over two decades setting goals, and the highest I ever reached before was maybe 60% completion—and that was with a modest list of just ten goals. When I first considered taking on this…
Now this one was a bit of a stretch. As I was looking for goals to round the total out to 50 this one kept popping up on a lot of the lists of goals people were setting. It seemed like a bit of pop psych or new age silliness but once I started doing…
OK so this one is bound to generate arguments. I again used ChatGPT to collate a list from as many sources as possible and come up with a consensus top 50. Some of the albums I was familiar with, some I’ve never heard of so I knew this was going to be an adventure. I…
I was at a work conference in Manhattan for a week and decided to seize this opportunity to squeeze in a few more famous pizza places into my year. Joe’s Pizza on Broadway. All the pizza people have a consensus that this is an exemplary NY slice and I was curious to give it a…
Remember back during Covid when everyone was making sourdough? I kind of wish I got on that train as keeping this stupid thing alive would have been a lot easier if I was working from home every day and we didn’t go anywhere. Well – getting it started was a huge pain but even remembering…
I really enjoyed this one as I love movies and this was an easy one to achieve. I again used ChatGPT to search all the top 50 movie lists out there then curate a list of consensus top 100 sorted by year released. I went through and removed movies that I have watched already (Star…
So yeah – I work in a 3D print lab with access to the latest cutting edge technology and I got a 3D printer for my house when I got the job to really deep dive into the technology. I spent months printing out other people’s projects from various maker sites but I really wanted…
OK – I cheated a little with this and bought a kit that had all the ingredients and equipment I’d need. I figured the whole point was to learn the process and being stepped through it and handed all the ingredients measured out still accomplished that! Besides – it was less expensive to just buy…
