What inspired me to do this kind of "Public Documentation"...

I think showing up my progress through this "modern" digital form will keep my friends and family aware of my status... The movie Julie & Julia proved that its the desire and admiration that counts when achieving a goal this big. If you haven't seen it, go rent it or even buy it. It will inspire you as well, maybe in a different form or space but it will happen anyway. We just have to be driven.
