#3I've been digging into Haskell in the time I have to program at home. Im going through the course at http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~cis194/spring13/lectures.html.
In addition to the classes, I've been trying to use it to write small programs and whatnot.
While I can't use Haskell at work, I can say working with it more regularly has definitely improved the JavaScript code I write on the job.

#7I'm learning German.

So far it's been quite fun. Last week I finally cracked the level where I understood a conversation of a Couple passing me on the street.

#8I've been taking chemistry courses, online, with some labs in person. Oregon State ($$) and Coursera. I've finished general chemistry, took a little analytic, and now I'm making my way through an organic chemistry sequence.

#9Although I already have my finance degree and wouldn't so much need it, getting my CFA is a near-term goal.
Learning wise, trying to completely re-learn mathematics, starting with books like the Mathematicians Delight and beginning with the most basic arithmetic, hopefully up through diffy q's, linear algebra, and intermediate stat. If anybody has any good tips on completely teaching yourself math from start to finish, please send them my way!

#10I've been reading bits about Erlang and Lisp-flavored Erlang (http://lfe.io/). I ported Norvig's Lispy (http://norvig.com/lispy.html) to Java as a weekend project and now I'm curious about Pixie (https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie)
