Announcement: As should be obvious to anyone who's actually been watching the Calendar of Progress and Shame, it is currently out of use. It was originally started as part of my New Year's resolution for 2005, and it was pretty helpful in that. But eventually it was contributing to a burned-out sort of feeling and was making something that I normally considered very fun seem more and more like Work. So the Calender is on suspension for the time being. Perhaps it'll have a resurgence in 2007.

(For more information on what this is all about read this post. The short version is to make me accomplish some writing on a story or this webpage at least 6 days a week. Oh, and of course none of this really works unless you have a chance to pester me about my progress: Pester@Areaology.com)

Color Code for Weeks:

Failed Week, missed the goal.	Good Week, Satisfied with the work.
Barely made it, maybe a technicality.	Awesome week, Lots of progress!
