101 Things in 1001 Days

The Mission: Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.  This means by 27 September 2012.

The Criteria: Tasks must be specific with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching needing to work at to be accomplished.

Why 1001 Days? The time frame is about 2.75 years and gives me more time to complete the tasks than the typical New Years Resolutions.  The deadline is realistic but not so short that the tasks cannot be accomplished.
