Home Projects CV Never-Ending List Portfolio Drive

The Never-Ending List

The opposite of a bucket list. Finishing it would be a design failure.

This stays because the site is allowed to be a human place. Cross one thing off, three more appear. Accountability, ambition, and mild self-inflicted pressure in one public artifact.

I am making it public to stay accountable and to subtly pressure others into making their own. Misery loves company, right?
