I visited Dave and Dawn's blog, and they have this list of things, and if you've done them, you bold 'em. "That looks might interesting," says I, and so I reverted to my pirate-y ways and stole it (well, they said to try it, so I guess it's not technically stealing... but a pirate won't tell ye that).
So here's my list. Yes, I'm being honest here, so don't start calling me out.
