Much better than my lazy default which involves leaving relevant tabs open on my browser ... So I just did this exercise now, and at the risk of overtooling I'm going to keep a detailed list of the precise things I did to learn each thing. Because otherwise, I have that same tendency to convince myself I've spent 2 hours learning more about graphical models by browsing some blog posts, or about cooking by looking through some cooking blogs but not actually taking the 2 hours to flail at bread-making. I'm not talking about every day recounting what I did, I think that's overly verbose, but just as a list under each of my goals that details each specific accomplishment.

Mind sharing your list? I really enjoy seeing what other people are excited about.

  It's a little long so I won't write it all out, but among the things with overlap were better math/stats, and circus things: - Graphical Models - R - Better understand stochastic dynamical systems - Advanced spectral analysis - Handstand - Flip - Box juggling throws

    Nice to see I'm not the only one who likes circus moves. One of my goals is handstand pushups. Needless to say, most of getting there is just exercise/weights/gym.

Two weeks later: Browser takes 10 Minutes to fire up. (One could leave the computer running, I guess, but argh, too many tabs..) How do you deal with this?

  There ought to be a way to run your tabs in the cloud... I'd pay for such a service! The only downside is that I would need to invent some kind of SQL variant to find stuff among the tabs, as they would no doubt soon number in the thousands.

  Try Luakit. http://luakit.org/projects/luakit http://luakit.org/projects/luakit It's a creamy webkit center with crunchy vim keybindings on top, all bound together with lua. The tab management isn't much better than Chrome's, but boy does it start up fast, and the memory usage is peanuts even compared to chrome. I bet you could script your own tab manager in lua if you wanted to. Maybe there's a plugin for it somewhere.
