101 in 1001

I have been meaning to write about the confrontation between 23andMe and the FDA but haven't found the brain cells to do so. This is mostly a reminder to myself to do that. For now, though, a belated 101 in 1001 update! More after the jump.












Completed:

None!

In progress:

I added another goal: Send 5 surprise packages. (1 - 1) (12 - 8). I also sent three so far, and I have two more packed and ready to mail! (3 / 5)

Another update and comment, of course. (1 - 3) (7 - 4)

I'm reading A History of Histories by J. W. Burrow, which is dense and academic and challenging, but also immensely rewarding. It's also a reminder that I should brush up on my ancient history. (9 - 2)
