Last year (2022), I set myself the challenge to make a software project every day, and met it. I had a ton of fun, and make a lot of [cool video games and projects](https://za3k.com/hackaday) I can show off. This year I'm inviting the rest of the world to join me! I'm a programmer, so I'm doing a new computer programming project every day. But I see no reason you can't do other kinds of projects. +**WHAT IS A HACK?** + +> HACK (noun) +> 1. a rough cut, blow, or stroke.

I've tried [National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo)](https://nanowrimo.org/) twice (and failed both times). Every november is no-shave november.
