I've got a TODO list of things I want to learn that's populated enough to keep me busy for years to come. I just wish I had more time to act on it. The items on my list are half concrete tasks and half topics to learn. The subjects are very diverse, I have a broad range of interests. Here's a few from the top: 1. Learn enough classical mechanics to do a stable n body simulation 2. Build a piece of furniture with mortise and tenon joinery 3. Implement a prototype compiler for that GPGPU/shader programming language I've been dreaming about for years 4. Get an Indian fighter kite and learn to fly it 5. Implement a multiple revolution Lambert problem solver to plan the badassest Kerbal Space Program mission ever 6. Write a simulator for gyroscopic motion and compare the results with my toy gyroscopes. That's enough to occupy my Saturdays for the next five years. Both, the sunny and the rainy ones.
