Probably an isolated point of view, but I stopped learning "new tech" a long time ago. I have a systems programming job and C/C++ is my bread and butter. The only new thing that I might spend some time on this year is C++14, because our build tools will enable it some time soon. On the non-tech side, I started learning Tabla (a musical instrument) this year. This is far enough out of my daily activities that I am getting a kick out of the new skills I need to master, especially the dexterity required to play different strokes with each hand while keeping time! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabla https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabla
