Redux from here.

• Read books: Started a few nonfiction books based on real peoples’ lives. Can’t finish them, find their lives too boring. I feel like I’ve studied enough successful people at this point (probably wrong) and don’t really feel that their definition of success matches my own, so I’d rather find success my own way than try to emulate. 

• Work hard, create new connections, maintain and improve old ones, and generally lay the groundwork for future success: Certainly further along than a month ago, but permanent infallibility still uncertain

• Save up for a Mac Pro + a comfortable safety cushion for unpleasant surprises: Much further along than a month ago. Mac Pro rumored to be targeting lower price points with a coming refresh, so hopefully the more tricked out configuration I want will cost just an arm, as opposed to an arm and a leg.

• Cut up credit card: Done.

• (Re)learn how to surf: Started this weekend. Will continue as soon as I can feel my arms again (hopefully next weekend). 

• Pay off all debts to the state/society, financial or otherwise: Done.
