That would be really useful!

Some of my ideas for forum or blog posts are:

•  Bi-weekly updates on what I've been working on.
• Posting stuff I've worked on (mostly ML related).
• Miscellaneous topics such as productivity and ADD.
• Reviews of EA programmes I've taken part in or books I've read
• Dumping my thoughts on a topic

I'm also interested in how you differentiate between content better suited for a blog or better suited for a forum?
 

I'm a 36 year old iOS Engineer/Software Engineer who switched to working on Image classification systems via Tensorflow a year ago. Last month I was made redundant with a fairly generous severance package and good buffer of savings to get me by while unemployed.

The risky step I had long considered of quitting my non-impactful job was taken for me. I'm hoping to capitalize on my free time by determining what career path to take that best fits my goals. I'm pretty excited about it. 

I created a weighted factor model to figure out what projects or learning to take on first. I welcome feedback on it. There's also a schedule tab for how I'm planning to spend my time this year and a template if anyone wishes to use this spreadsheet their selves.

I got feedback from my 80K hour advisor to get involved in EA communities more often. I'm also want to learn more publicly be it via forums or by blogging. This somewhat unstructured dumping of my thoughts is a first step towards that.

If you take either of these pledges while you are a student or unemployed, it is within the spirit of the pledge to give 1% of your spending money until you start earning an income, at which time you would then begin giving your pledged amount.

Does the lifetime pledge tracking on your website allow for this 1% unemployment/studying period? Or is the idea that you would make up the time where you were only giving 1%?

I'm going to be exploring Berlin that day but will try and join in the evening for dinner. What time do you think you'd be carrying on until?
