Goals | Rebekah Heacock Jones
http://rebekahheacock.org/2014/01/goals
I’ve been thinking a lot over the past few months about goal-setting, self-incubation. Being myself and being bad at things. And finding direction and clarity. Today, I stumbled across Maggie Mason’s blog post on editing your life list. And decided it was time to give mine. Taken off: lots of old travel goals that have become less interesting or important over time (do I really need to ride in a dhow off the coast of Zanzibar? Last fall for my CS50. Code, to cook, to blog, to hand-stamp thank you cards, ...

From August-November 2016, I’m studying in General Assembly’s Web Development Immersive. Program, a 12-week, full-time course that covers programming fundamentals, product development, and full stack web development using JavaScript and Rails. Check out my portfolio at rhjones.me. Before General Assembly, I was a Senior Project Manager at Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society. My work at BKC focused on Internet health (via the Internet Monitor. From 2006-2007 I lived and worked in Uganda,...

100 Books in 2014: midpoint check-in, call for help | Rebekah Heacock Jones
http://rebekahheacock.org/2014/05/100-books-in-2014-midpoint-check-in-call-for-help
100 Books in 2014: midpoint check-in, call for help. Earlier this year, I decided to make 2014 the year I cross off “read 100 books in 365 days.” I’ve been tracking my books here. But today I decided to take a closer look at how things stand midway through the year. This analysis is prompted in part by my friend Kendra. Who ran a similar but significantly more ambitious project last year in which she read 5 books a week, meticulously blogged reviews of each one. Digging into author diversity is somewhat ...

100 Books | Rebekah Heacock Jones

When I started creating my Life List. A few years ago, one of my goals was to read 100 books in one year. I made it to 94 in 2014, so I’m trying again in 2015. But 2015 was a winner! More detailed metadata for both 2014 and 2015 are in this spreadsheet. My 2014 midway check-in is here. And my year-end recap is here. I’m no longer tracking books on this page. Curious about what I’m reading? Follow me on Goodreads. Falling Off the Map: Some Lonely Places of The World. Autobiography of a Face. Miss Peregrin...

Inspired by Maggie Mason’s 100 things to do before I go. Set up file sharing between my Mac and my netbook. Make gnocchi gorgonzola from scratch. Host my own seder. Hang shelves in my bedroom. Go to grad school. Pay off my grad school loans (working on it). Oh hello, George Margot Kitty. Take a dance class. Make a cake with more than two layers. Peaches and apples, so far). Make jam with said fruit. Vanilla peach, ginger peach, peach and ancho chile, apple butter). Can (well, technically, jar) things:.

Category Archives: life list. 100 Books in 2014: I made it to 94. I tracked every book I read in 2014, fairly certain I would reach my goal of 100. Without too much trouble. I made it to 94, which is both galling and inspiring (how much reading will I be able to do this year, now that I’m not planning a wedding in three parts? At the end of May I did a midpoint check-in. November also saw my greatest page count, clocking in at just over 6200 pages. Coincidentally, it was also the month I reread all of.

One of my favorite lectures at SIPA. Was Paul Thurman’s. Last lecture for Quantitative Analysis for International & Public Affairs. Turns out the mechanical part was an O-ring—the O-ring that failed on an unusually cold day in January 1986, causing the Challenger to explode. It sounds almost unforgivably hokey now, but I wasn’t the only one with goosebumps, and some people actually cried.). Four years later, I’m taking David Malan’s. Intro to computer science course, CS50. To sum up: numbers are. Global ...

Category Archives: making things. Crossposting from Making Things. Verging considerably from the seamster angle this blog has been taking (if you’re only here for the quilts, feel free to ignore): I made my first-ever pull request (and had my commits successfully merged) on GitHub today! As part of my ongoing goal to make lots of things. And in an effort not to overload this blog (ostensibly focused on Ugandan politics, digital tech, and Lawrence, Kansas), I’ve set up a new site: Making Things. And findi...
