Projects

I'm always doing more than one thing at the same time.

Running

It's actually quite nice to have this list to see what it is I'm (sortof) working on :-)

Fridge

Things I thought I was working on but havn't made real progress recently.

Concrete plans

Things already on my horizon and they have had some thinking but not really more than that.
