A typical DnD game session lasts about four hours. I don’t have that kind of time. I’d like to find tweaks to the DnD rules that I can make to significantly speed up the game.

I’ve been picking baseball prospects for many years now, and have come up with a convoluted process for choosing players who I think will succeed in the major leagues someday. Recently, I’ve streamlined the process and redid the picks for the past ten years using the new system.

I’m tackling my massive baseball card collection. The goal is to build a dream set of cards including a chronological display of baseball’s greats, while finding new homes for the rest. I’ll also create a website to showcase my hall of heroes.

I developed a system that I call All-Star Analysis of Players (ASAP). Each year, I update a giant spreadsheet of players with updated stats. Then I pick an all-star team of new players who have never been picked before. These are the Mega All-Stars.

Every region in America adds its own flair to each local dish. The uniqueness of each regional dish tells a lot about the local culture, terrain, and history. There are already many American cookbooks out there, but I also think it would be a fun exploration to put together my own.

I propose writing book/calendar hybrids in order to promote taking action, and thus increasing the value of non-fiction literature. Each day of the calendar can feature a block of text explaining a certain concept and how you can put it into practice that day.
