For work: flexible artificial muscle actuators for use in prosthetics.

For personal use: a workout app that automatically plays high energy music during a workout set and downbeat music while resting between sets. The right music really helps me workout more effectively.

I'm hosting one dinner party per month at my place

Love this. What inspired you to do so? Do you cook or is it like a potluck?

That's actually a great idea, the lack of effort spent in keeping friends is an underestimated issues, at least in many western cities...

I'm trying to do something musical every day, doesn't matter what it is. Two days down. So far I've just been sitting at the piano playing through lead sheets of songs I've written and some jazz standards.

Happy Jamuary! I think this is so great! I'm trying to do produce a musical artifact each day this month. I'm hoping it helps with my bad habit of never finishing songs :)

I am clinging onto my day job for dear life trying to stay employed through this craziness

Always have something of your own to work on in addition to your full-time job. This advice from an old timer changed my life!

Scratching a perpetual itch by building a managed Kubernetes provider that's first and foremost cheaper, but also solve a slew of usability problems I've ran into over the years (https://symbiosis.host). Also working on plowing through the history of the decline and fall of the roman empire by Gibbon. Remains to see which project is more successful.
