Inspired by Derek Sivers now page, here’s what I am doing right now (last update January 2024):
- Working as a freelancer, helping my clients tame their data.
- Reading. One goal is to read all Dune novels. I am currently on The Machine Crusade. While I can certainly understand the different opinions on the more recent additions to the Dune universe, I am really enjoying this trilogy.
- Making music. My goal for 2024 is to actually release tracks, even if I am not 100% happy with them. When something is released, it will be right here.
- Learning Japanese, 10 minutes a day. I have also recently taken up WaniKani, since I felt like I was not getting the progress I wanted from Duolingo.
- Building various robots. One goal for 2024 is to revive my Lego sorting project one way or the other.
- My current videogame rotation: Fortnite, SnowRunner and some random other things.
What I’m not doing right now:
- Organizing my music collection using the awesome Beets. I’m really wondering whether or not I should continue with this. I’ve been doing almost all my music listening through Google Home and it’s very difficult to get your local collections nicely integrated.
- Trying to make Home Assistant manage my home energy. I wanted to make an add-on to optimize energy usage, but the amount of money that could be saved is just so tiny it was not worth the effort.
