I've done 35. I'm working on a form of this for my own little humble blog. We'll see how it goes.

I did this a while back, but it only had 99. I can say I've done #100 as well!

Including #100, I've done 33 things on the list. There are another 15 or so that I would like to do if ever given the opportunity.

Yeah, I #67'd too but my favorite thing to do is a #78!

You've done loads, that's for sure. I guess I'll have to give it a go. (With proper attribution, natch!)
