26 for 26 3rd Quarter Update

As of my last update, I was at 11 of 26 of my 2026 mini-quests done.

Here’s what changed:

  1. ✅ Make a meal with soy curls: Butler Soy Curls are amazing and everyone should try them (especially vegans)
  2. ✅ Find a place locally where I can getĀ Fermented Bean Curd: Also amazing. Available in asian markets (for me it was a Vietnamese market)
  3. 👌 Go to a live musical: I have tickets to Oh! Mary in NYC, so this should happen.
  4. ⚠️ Go for a weekend away to a new place in Florida: Not Done, but I have booked a vegan retreat near Gainesville in January.
  5. ✅ Get App-o-Mat on current Django and back to being a live server (not static pages): Done. Also updated to latest Python, Django and other deps. Used my local AI setup for a lot of updates.
  6. ✅ Write 10 Amazon Book reviews for books I love: Done

So 15/26 done. I will definitely come up short, but here are the ones I think I could also knock off:

  1. 👌 Hang pictures of my family in my guest room: I am definitely going to do this.
  2. ⚠️ Go to at least one arena-sized concert: I could just do this to do it. Maybe.
  3. ⚠️ Have a coffee or lunch with someone who lives in my building (seeĀ Improving My Social Connection Index): I will definitely do this.
  4. ⚠️ Host someone new for dinner at my place: I will do this to do it — it will be easy.
  5. 👌 Release something new to open-source: I will do this to do it.

That would get me to 22.
