I was running with the dogs and fell forward and stress fractured both elbows (using hands to not land on face). That was a couple months ago, so I'm mostly healed, but I want to improve both flexibility and strength. At 40, I didn't think this kind of injury from a fall was a thing quite yet.
Presenting stuff/ideas. I kind of have established my own powerpoint style over the years and seek to further improve my presentation skills. Happy for any good advice. ps.: and i despise pp
Q1 is all about going beyond C1 in French. Concretely, I want to be able to listen to podcasts at 1.5x like I do in English, or be able to run product discovery calls. (I'm running my first one in French in a couple of weeks, so I'll have a baseline. Ironically, the main problem might be not knowing which English terms to leave in!)
Later in the year, I'd like to give a go at programming more. To show how little I've done, I recently fired up Webstorm on my home computer and realized it was still on version 2021.1!
1. I've been dabbling in Japanese for while. It's time to get serious and pass the Japanese Language Proficiency test, even if at the lowest level. 2. Piano. While I can play some simple degree, I have a large bucket list of more complex pieces. I want to play three of them this coming year.
Cloud computing (especially AWS). I've spent the last decade working on application software and am increasing worried how many jobs expect cloud experience these days as I have none.
It gives a comprehensive overview of the Cloud Architecture, the various pieces involved and how they all work together. The whole "Cloud Technologies" field is quite vast and overwhelming and this book provides a nice comprehensible roadmap.
1) UI Design. I’d love to learn how to build apps that are aesthetically pleasing. 2) Computers. This year I’m making an effort to work through the NAND to Tetris course. I’ve always wanted to learn how computers work from the ground up. 3) Spanish. I had a strong start learning Spanish this year but haven’t been as consistent. I’m aiming to become conversationally fluent next year.
For money: WebGPU and WASM for running client side satellite propagation models
I’m taking a New Year’s Resolution to remove as many subscriptions from my life as possible. So… I’ll be working on making a solid homelab again.
Synology NAS, docker containers, and Tailscale (or headscale). Trust me on this.
Which one to get since there is a whole bunch of options/models ?
