What Is 52 Things All About
January 24th, 2010
52 Things is my way of making a public commitment to build, hack, and tinker more this year. I decided to average a thing a week for the entire year. I got the idea from the Thing A Day website where people post a new piece of art every day.
As an additional incentive I will be donating $10.00 for every project I complete to Nuts Bolts and Thing-a-Jigs.
At the end of the year for every project I fail to complete I wil donate $10.00 to The Discovery Institute an “Intelligent” Design “Think Tank”.
This is a classic reward/punishment motivation tool. On the one hand I get great rewards. The satisfaction of building something and supporting a good cause or not building something and supporting BAD science.
