Ten Years of My Life is the latest project by Matthew Haughey, creator of MetaFilter and Ticketstubs. The premise is that he will post a new photograph to the site every day for ten years.
"During the upcoming ten years, from the time I turn 31 until I turn 41, I expect I'll be witnessing a great deal of major changes and would love to have a way to remember them."
I think it's an incredible concept. In a way, it's not too different from blogging, or photoblogging. The committment is a huge step up, however, and I think the results will ultimately be more rewarding. The MeFi discussion of the new project contains links to similar sites, where people have committed to a photo, drawing, or post per day for various periods of time. A new meme, perhaps? Whether or not it becomes the next big thing in blogging, Ten Years of My Life is definitely a project worth checking out.

(it would be against my better judgement to skip a meal, but with 10 years, theres a lot of room for error). however, back to the photo thing, i think webcam users have a higher probability of documenting their life with pictures.
