It's posting day over here, obviously. : ) Anyway, some of my housemates are doing something called New Year's Bingo, where you make a bingo card with 25 things to do in the new year, and then cross things off during the year. It seemed a fun thing to do, so I'm going to try it! Here are mine:

- be on radio or TV [this is related my environmental work; I'm aiming to do a bit more media stuff]
- finish last year's dS big bang story
- make a new friend
- write a scientific article together with Senior Scientist Guy from my summer mountain work
- bike to work regularly
- work out/lift weights at least once a week
- be active in my local syndicalist union throughout the year
- harmonize ten new songs with my sister
- invite the Danish fen to Göteborg for a meet-up
- record four podcasts [again, for my environmental work]
- read 52 books
- sleep 20 nights outside/in a tent
- write a debate article [again, for my environmental work]
- go swimming in ten new lakes/places by the sea
- go to an activity/meeting at a political organization I've been planning to check out
- give away X amount of money to organizations/poor friends [er, sorry, I feel weird writing out the amount]
- spend a night up in a tree
- work in the mountains again
- do salary negotiations with my union [insert boring explanation about Swedish labor practices]
- record at least three hours of podfic
- try using a sextant to determine the latitude
- see ten new species of vascular plants in Sweden
- find a new home
- go hiking/be outdoors every week
-

My aim is to not include things that I know for sure I'll be doing anyway, but to have things that will feel like a little bit of an achievement if I do them. And also to have fun things on there, too, not just serious stuff. You will notice that I have four slots left. Any ideas? : )

I'm tagging this "meme", since it's a RL meme, apparently, and it would be cool if it caught on here, too.

Each item is impressive on its own; taken together it spells a highly s skilled, more social, even more competent Lux for 2015.

Have you read Dana Sobel's Latitude? It's a brief and thrilling explorations of accurate clocks made marine navigation reliable. With nifty class analysis and breakdowns on the advantages of wooden and metal gears.
