I have been asked multiple times “what are you going to do once you reach day 100?”. I usually jokingly respond “relax”, which is true, I’m not going to lie. In reality, once I get over my one day of relaxing I have better things planned. I am sure the best things are yet to come and will be planned by God and not me.

First on my list of things to do now that I am done with my 100 days blog is I am walking around Houston with Pedestrian Pete. He and his awesome staff at BetterHouston are committed to a vision of better neighborhoods, better transit, and better urbanism in Houston.

Another thing that I am really excited about is that I get to attend and even briefly speak at an event with Jason Roberts. Jason is the co-founder of the Better Block project that started in Dallas and has gone all over the world. His citizen fueled redevelopment efforts are literally one of the biggest inspirations for my blog and are the reason why I know we can’t always stick to our good ole ways.

Soon I will be starting a 10 week online course through Coursera about designing cities. The course will be taught by the University of Pennsylvania PennDesign school. Ultimately I want to keep learning about cities and what I can do to improve them.

As far as the blog goes, I will keep it up and running. I don’t think that I will be able to leave it completely. If I think of any good ideas in the future to improve Houston I will do my best to put them on this blog so that others know about them. The blog may also serve as a way for me to share my opinions as Houston continues to grow.

Last but not least I hope to partner with local nonprofits to help make some of the ideas I proposed a reality. This is a great opportunity to get involved and to take my ideas further. My original attention with this blog was to create discussion and ultimately action from my ideas to improve Houston, I will try to do my part to make this next step happen.

Thanks everyone for your support!
