Tech-related I've been learning Postgres recently. Postgres had some features that MySQL lacked that I wanted to use in some projects. I didn't initially expect it, but in addition to now knowing basic Postgres, it has improved my generic SQL knowledge and even my skill with MySQL. Always helpful to increase the ability to look at a problem from different perspectives.
Non-Tech related I've been (trying) to learn the guitar. I think music is a great counterpoint to coding. I've been enjoying Coursera/Berklee's Guitar for Beginners [0].
Which is a great segue to a shameless plug. I mine HN for comments that mention online courses and rank them over various timeframes, including the last year [1]. Oddly, it's how I found the Guitar course, though obviously most recommended courses are tech related. It's a good resource for finding interesting courses if that is your style of learning.
