Inspired by Derek Sivers now page, here’s what I am doing right now (last update January 2025):
- Ready to start a new challenge (more on that later).
- Working on my latest side-project.
- Reading. One goal is to read all Dune novels. I have finished the Legends of Dune trilogy some time ago and will start on the Great Schools trilogy later this year.
- Building various robots. I have recently done a major overhaul of my Lego sorting project and the results are so good I have plenty of energy to continue improving it.
- Learning Japanese, 10 minutes a day. I wasn’t able to make as much progress as I wanted. The goal this year is to keep working on it every day and hopefully read a few Yotsuba&! mangas.
- My current videogame rotation: Fortnite (it is amazing how they keep reinventing themselves), Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Recently, I got an Anbernic RG 40XXV that I want to set up to play oldschool point and click adventure games on the go.
What I’m not doing right now:
- Making music. I’d really love to fit in more music-time in my schedule, but it is a very time-consuming hobby, so it is hard to get started.
- Organizing my music collection using the awesome Beets. I’ve found a few options to integrate it with Home Assistant and thus indirectly with Google Home.
- Improving my Home Assistant setup. I have many ideas, but there’s just too much to do.
