Free magnets
July 6th, 2008
Just for something fun, I am going to get some Project 183 magnets made.
183 of them, to be precise.
And I want you to have one. For free.
If you would like to put your name down to get one of these free magnets (and when they run out, that’s it), please leave me a comment and I will send you an email to get your mailing address.
What do I ask in return for this free magnet? All I ask is that you take a photo of wherever it is you put your magnet, and then email it to me.
I will then put all the photos together into a funky collage of magnets on-line for everyone to enjoy.
So, if you want your free Project 183 magnet, leave a comment below.

July 6th, 2008 at 4:59 am
Woo hoo. Magnet.
July 6th, 2008 at 5:08 am

July 6th, 2008 at 5:20 am
I admire your efforts so far. You should put statue busking on your list. I have found it personally most rewarding.
Thanks
Chris.

July 6th, 2008 at 6:02 am
Hey! I’d love a magnet. I’m really enjoying reading about your project as well.
July 6th, 2008 at 6:12 am
I’ve just read about the “riding the whole Melbourne rail network in one day”. I can’t help wondering just how much planning (& good luck?) that took?? I’m also curious as to what design/format you’ll come up with for the P183 magnets…
Well, good luck with the Project, and I’ll be keen to keep up with your progress.
Cheers,
Bruce.
July 6th, 2008 at 6:14 am
I’ll take it someplace special, somewhere no magnet has ever gone before!

Oh wow sure – I’ll do it!
July 6th, 2008 at 8:14 am
good luck with the 183.
If “one” “ate” “three”,would you become a “four” or just not fit through the door?
See Ya Sooner,
Brett.
July 6th, 2008 at 8:23 am

ok, you got me in, I’ll give it a go.
July 6th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
It was great to see you are trying to achieve things that are outside of the normal.
Who would have though it would have been possible to even visit every rail station in metro melbourne.
July 6th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
thanks for letting us share with your adventures around the melbourne train system.
July 6th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
I’d like one of your Project 183 magnets… .
July 6th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Hi there Heath,
Just finished reading your entries and wanted to say way to go! Good luck with the rest of your challenges, I will make sure to keep coming back to see how your story unfolds.
Cheers,
Mike.

Hey there,
incredible blog you have here!
I’ll get a photo for you!
July 6th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Seen you on Sunrise a few times. All the best at completing all of your goals before 30. I know you can do it!!
I’d love a magnet, I have the perfect place for it
July 6th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
Congratulations on the randomness! It’s great and a free trip to Sydney ‘Wooooo’! Good idea to wear that T-shirt too, that’s how I found this website! Also well done with the train station visiting and actually using the trains to do it!
So here is my post just for a free magnet, I will take a photo of it when I get it and put it in place!
Keep up the randomness and keep having fun!
July 6th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
Hi Heath, I’m a big fan would love one of your magnets!! Keep up the good work. Casey
July 6th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
Hey Heath
I would love a magnet thanks.
I have been reading your blog with much interest for the past couple of weeks now – you’ve probably heard it all before but I really admire what your doing and I hope you keep it up once your OS. You have even inspired me to make a list of my own goals to achieve by the time I’m 30 (August 2011). Once you start thinking of things you want to achieve its hard to stop!
Keep up the good work and if I can help out in anyway please let me know – I live in Adelaide.
Cheers

Id love a free magnet.. awesome idea for the 183 tasks you have gotten me to think up some for me to complete before im 30
July 7th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Thanks to everyone who has requested a magnet so far – the level of interest so far has been amazing.
If you can spread the word to anyone else you think might want one, please do.
As an update, I am going to individually number every magnet, from number 1 to number 183, so everyone’s magnet will be one of a kind.
July 7th, 2008 at 11:28 pm
Hey Heath!
I’d love a magnet! I love reading your website and keeping up with your adventures!

Looking good Mr Sunrise!! So when do you start being the wacky guy who travels the country doing the weather??
Can I please have number 87, It’s got a good ring to it!
July 8th, 2008 at 1:46 am
A magnet would be sooooo great.
thankyou, please and merry christmas.
July 8th, 2008 at 5:05 am
id love to get a magnet!
and best of luck with your quest! :]
July 8th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
I like that this isn’t about a bucket list which is about squeezing in some things before you go. I made a list last year on a milestone birthday to do 50 things before my next birthday. It’s been fun and I can see you are having fun also. What are you going to do to top it though. ha ha
July 8th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
My fan could always do with another magnet to further obstruct the air it spins!
Congrats on the good work so far.
July 8th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
I would love to have one of your magnets, and you have inspired me to create my own list 50 must do’s in 50 months up to my 50th!
Maybe getting a magnet from you will be one of my goals. All the best!
July 8th, 2008 at 9:50 pm
Mate,
Love following your progress, I even blogged about it -> (another one for 128)
http://boofspace.blogspot.com/2008/06/cata-list.html
The RSS feed works beautifully – easy to keep track of ya..
A magnet would be sick!
July 9th, 2008 at 1:27 am
I am an Aussie living in Europe, and I have been following your progress ever since I read about your train challenge online. Like many others, I too was inspired to write my own list!
Will take some funky photos of the magnet at various European locations….
July 9th, 2008 at 1:58 am
Ha. It’s funny to see you’ve got so many comments after offering free stuff. Anyway put me down for one (If your taking requests then #88). It’s probably easier if I pick it up at Andy’s farewell. See you then.
July 9th, 2008 at 4:41 am
I would LOVE to help you out and recieve a magnet. I’ve got a good place I want to use it in.
July 9th, 2008 at 4:50 am
I never wanted a magnet this much before. I’ll give it a good home and get happy snappy for you.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
I would like a magnet for my collection
July 9th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
I would love one of the magnet please..XOXO.

July 11th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
meee!! ohhhh yeah
July 12th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
I think it’s brilliant that you decided to create this challenge for yourself. No doubt lots of people will create their own lists and try to follow your inspiring example – myself included. Good luck mate!
July 12th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Love hearing about all your antics…. brightens my day and inspires me!
Would love to get involved, sign me up for a magnet!
July 12th, 2008 at 11:34 pm

Keep the requests coming all. I now have most of your mailing addresses, but if you haven’t emailed it to me yet, please do.
A magnet update will be coming through shortly!
In the meantime, if you have friends or family who might also want one, please let me know.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
How far would you like your magnets to go? I could send one to USA, one to NT and one to WA, and one for NSW.
July 15th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Sounds like fun! Put me down for one please.

July 20th, 2008 at 6:30 am
Heya! Your project is so awesome, and I am seriously considering doing something like this just so I can have some great memories of stuff I have done while I am still young lol
Would really love a magnet to show my support to your grand project =D
July 22nd, 2008 at 7:09 pm
Brilliant! I’m so inspired to keep chinking away at my own list, which mostly involves running goals. I’m now going to expand it to include other cool stuff. Would LOVE a magnet if there are still numbers available.
July 22nd, 2008 at 7:16 pm
cool.
July 24th, 2008 at 7:12 pm

July 25th, 2008 at 12:14 am
Hi,
In order to achieve my goal of supporting more silly causes, I would like a magnet please.
Now I am off to iamgoingtorollacrossaustralia.com.au to get one of his magnets.
July 29th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
Hey! I would love a fridge magnet if there are any left.
Keep up the good work on the Goals mate, you have inspired me to do something similar (although Im already past 30…) as I just think its a great idea.
I am personally trying to raise $1000 for Movember which supports some great causes, so if that suits Goal 89, count me in.
Best of luck getting them all done!
Cheers, Robert
July 30th, 2008 at 4:58 pm

Hey Heath, this is an awesome project. I would be honoured to be a part of it. I even have a few ideas for the magnet photo already….Cheers Mike
August 31st, 2008 at 5:19 pm
This project of yours has been such an inspiration to me and my friends! So much time, so little to do…>>hang on! Strike that! REVERSE!! =D
This magnet of yours will be a nice addition to my collection, and at this rate, I’m going to have to buy a bigger fridge just to diplay them all!
Cheers,
Frances.
P.S: I’m finding Gone with the Wind a challenge also! But keep up the good stuff!
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:21 am
Hi Heath,
I have just come across your site which is featured in this months Intrinsic newsletter.
What a fabulous idea… and to all of those out there who are saying that some of the goals are too “easy” just don’t seem to ‘get it’.
I wish you all the best with achieving your goals in time.
Cheers,
Sonia
PS If there are any magnets left, may I have one please? Thanks
September 19th, 2008 at 5:40 am
Hey there mate from downunder,
Excellent and cool thing to do!
Cheers!
October 5th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Hi, nice project!!!
have you found a charity for Project 116. “For every goal not achieved by February 28, 2013, donate $10 to a charity (first person to nominate a charity is where the money will go)” if not i nominate the castlemaine hospital…
I would love one of your Magnets!!
October 9th, 2008 at 1:55 pm

November 24th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Dude,
Please send me a magnet and I will photograph it in a cool location Melbourne for you.
Cheers,
Tony
November 25th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
thankyou!
November 25th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Hi Heath,
Recently read a project about you in our Sunday Mail. Just want to say congrats on a great project, some great goals there, 3/4 of them is what I would like to achieve, but anyway I wish you all the best in achieving them.
Keep up your blog, I will watch closely. I assume the magnets are all gone, but your project so far has been an inspiration to makie me get off the couch and get out and see what the world has to offer. 3 years till I turn 30!
Goodluck
November 25th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
PS Can I please nominate the Animal Welfare League, WSPA, RSPCA or any other charitible animal organisation for any money donated to goals not achieved or anytime you feel like making a donation.
July 31st, 2009 at 9:13 am
I’d love a magnet please!
January 24th, 2010 at 4:48 pm
Please can I have a magnet?! This has inspired me to get on with starting my own blog – watch this space!
(Good luck meeting Richard Branson – keep your fingers crossed for me meeting Stephen Fry in a taxi, or for a cup of tea…. or anything!)
January 28th, 2010 at 4:36 pm
Yes, you can definitely have a magnet. I will email you to get your address.
January 31st, 2010 at 6:23 pm
I was wondering if you still have any magnets? You definitely had a large influence when I was making my list. You can check out my journey at adventurewannabe.wordpress.com. Good luck! Thank you for giving the basis for a bunch of ideas.
February 8th, 2010 at 2:04 am
Hi John – definitely you can have a magnet – I will send you a quick email to get your address.
I like your website, and especially the line ‘It is never too late to be who you might have been.’ Good luck with it.
March 17th, 2010 at 6:59 pm
Heath,
I came across your site when getting ideas for my 40 by 40. I’m still making my list and have been digging your site. Anyway I would love to have a magnet if you still have them..Thanks for the cool site
March 17th, 2010 at 10:49 pm
Sure you can Jimmy – I will email you to get your mailing address and put one in the post to you
