The List

Okay, so I'm about to set out in cyber space my hopes/dreams/challenges for the next 2 years and 9 months.
The project becomes live on 18th January 2009, giving me until Sunday 16th October 2011 to achieve everything on the list. It sounds easy enough, but I'm not convinced.

For ease of reading I've broken down my list into a few different sections, but I'm going to tackle the challenges in any order.
