I live across the water from Seattle and take a ferry to work. The ferry ride is an hour long (each way). I've spent a lot of time working on personal projects but for the past few months I've been doing contract work. This is about 2 hours per day or 10 hours per week and the money I earn really adds up. And it's a lot more lucrative than the personal projects I've worked on in the past. I don't typically get burned out as the work is really a lot different than my day job. Same programming language, completely different problem spaces, though. It works for me because my contracting client isn't in a huge hurry to have stuff done (deadline is like... "before Christmas"). The ferries have wi-fi now but it's terrible so I have to make sure I have everything I need on my laptop (basically a complete instance of the web-based software).
