I meant to post this last week as a follow up to the list of things to learn but got a little distracted but jukesie’s tweet earlier prompted me to finish it up.

All very much a work in progress, all archived on delicious under the diymasters tag.

After @jukesie posted on twitter about his a few things I want to learn list inspired by @pipstar‘s 100 things list, I sort of got bullied (in a nice way) into posting mine.

So here it is, just a brain dump as I thought of them:

• Learn enough French to be able to have a normal conversion with someone, not at my current two year old level.
• Learn Japanese well enough to watch a Godzilla film / Anime without subtitles.
• Learn Audio mixing/DJing, it would be nice to throw together mixes even half was good as 2Many DJ’s.
• Create a nice Theme for this site.
• Implement and learn more about agile development and lean development.
• Build a raytracer in to teach me OpenCL.
• Play with Cellular automata for ocean and water modeling.
• Finish the @teatweets website
• Have a mess around with asterisk
• Finish off my certificate in web applications development.
• Learn how to wear make up.
• Dress better.

I’ll probably think of dozen more once I click publish but that what I can remember off to the top of my head but I really should get back to work, so that will have to wait.
