Happy New Year everyone!
I spend too much time on wasteof. But of all the places on the internet, this is the only one that is worth coming back to multiple times a day.
Now, I present my goals for 2024. The goals are all specific and quantifiable, so I can measure if I complete them. Here they are:
Run a 5k in under 20 mins by March, under 18 mins by August, and under 16 mins by November
Run over 1500 miles in total
Run a race every month - except January because I canāt find a single convenient race that month.
Finish school early - Iām on track to finish 1-2 weeks early, so I want to keep, if not improve, that lead
Bring the wasteof iOS app to feature parity with wasteof2 by July, and to parity with wasteof4 by November
Do some other big coding project
Read the book of John, taking it slowly through the book - Goal is 3-4 verses per day, John has 879 verses so it should take up the majority of the year
Become (at least) friends with my crush. āBecoming friendsā is defined as getting her phone number. I wonāt see her until August, though and I barely know her. And Iām the most awkward person ever. Weāll see.
Buy an iPhone 16 Pro Max and Apple Watch Series 10 when they come out.
Get a driverās license by August - I need 60 hours of driving practice in total, I have about 10 so far. I havenāt been trying though.
Get a job.
Repost this weekly with progress updates on what Iāve done to keep myself accountable.
2023 was the greatest year of my life. 2024 will be even better. Letās get it.
Bro woke up and chose violence
if i had musical talent i would name my band/music project āVarious Artistsā

itās the emojis on the site, but you can post them as normal images as well. Hereās an example:

If you have multiple personality disorder and donāt know it, which wasteof account do you think your other personality owns? (Bonus points if the other account picks you)
Bro got caught lacking
I found their app icon (see the top left image) on 2 websites that are registered before theirs. One of the sites dates back to 2019 and has blog posts prior to the launch of the app too. Canāt confirm, but I suspect itās either stolen from somewhere or itās a template of some kind (which also sucks honestly, make your own logo yāknow?).
Did I just findā¦ a Christian rap album that is better than (most of) Kanyeās albums?
Week 5/52
2: I did 20 miles this week (it was a race week so I did less)
3: I ran my first race of the year yesterday (1/11)
No other updates. Next week Iāll hopefully have more to say.
Happy New Year everyone!

Hereās some pictures of it (Iām not in them)
I did the Krispy Kreme run today, it was really fun. The donuts halfway through definitely throw you off. I got 38 minutes (not counting 10 minutes standing around at the Krispy Kreme). My friend was there with me and he was one of the top 10 people to get to the Krispy Kreme, but he didnāt know you could leave with your donuts, so he stayed there to eat them.

Fun fact: this game is actually powered by an LLM on the backend. It sends the two items you combine and asks for the result and the emoji for them.
idk if yall know the site neal.fun (trolly problems, password game, etc) but he just made a new game which is really cool: neal.fun/infinite-craft
tell me what interesting stuff you craft, and see if you can be the first person to create something :D
