I've always been one of those people who has an absolutely terrible time coming up with side projects for myself, primarily for two reasons: I aim too high, and I love to stick with familiar technologies.
To this end, at the beginning of the year I started my NOT A NEW YEARS EVE RESOLUTION project (because NYE resolutions rarely see completion): I decided that I would spend all of 2018 learning entirely new technologies - one new one per week, every week, and spending at least 8 hours on the technology. I also set a hard line that I wouldn't "give multiple weeks" to anything, no matter how much I loved it. I would move on at the end of the week, and anything I wanted to pursue further would either have to wait, or would be tinkered with on TOP of the work I did for New52.
I am coming up on 1/4 of the way done with this project, and I figured now was a good time to share it, now that I'm confident I'm "sticking with it" (unlike many other NYE resolutions...)
I wanted to share it here for inspiration to others, but also for a selfish reason: I would _love_ to get people's advice on what to explore! I'll accept PRs to the README list of tech ideas I have - I have 40 weeks to go still, and nowhere near that many items left in my list!
Thanks for taking a look!
