I enjoy learning, so I try to learn new things as part of my day to day routine to keep things interesting. I just started following OCW's Finance Theory class and I'm starting to read the text book on corporate finance and watching a lecture a day during lunch. I've always been interested in economics, so this is just learning for learning's sake. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/sloan-school-of-management/15-401-finance-theory-i-fall-2008/ https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/sloan-school-of-management/15-40... I'm just about done reading "A Look at Boulder: From Settlement to City," about the history of Boulder County, CO. Again, in this case I'm interested in local history, so I'm just reading it before bed for fun. Two weeks ago I installed FreeBSD on a spare hard drive, and I've been reading through the handbook and learning how to do various tasks as they come up. I'm writing a Spotify client in Common Lisp, so I'm learning about the Spotify API and architecture. The beginnings of the library are on Github, but right now it's really just a utility library for making API calls, and not much of a client. This started as the thought, "It'd be neat to have a library to control Spotify from the REPL," and is turning into a full client because spotify-tui is the only client I can find on FreeBSD. https://github.com/jl2/cl-spotify/ https://github.com/jl2/cl-spotify/ At work I've been helping the test team write functional tests for some Windows software, which I haven't used in years, so the past week I was re-learning "just enough" about Windows and Python's win32com library, and learning about AutoIt for the first time. I've been learning to track stand on my bike - it's something to do during stoplights. And I impulse bought a pot roast on Friday, so today or tomorrow I'm going to learn how to cook one.
