Tackle this list

I find that if I write it down, it's more likely to get done. To that effect a few things on this digital list were on my paper list and were actually completed before I even had a chance to post this listing. But I will list them nevertheless and hopefully the long term goals get started and the short term ones get complete. If this isn't a swift kick in the pants then I don't know what is.
