48. Started learning music theory, so far by means of parts 1 and 2 of "Music Theory for Electronic Music" on Udemy. I dabbled in music in my 20s but never really knew what I was doing so it's amazing fun.

39. Learned (and am still learning) how to brew beer. This is great.

Any good resources?

I learned to brew many years ago and have always liked this book:

How To Brew: Everything You Need to Know to Brew Great Beer Every Time https://www.amazon.com/dp/1938469356/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_JTFx...

This book is pretty commonly sold with starter kits too.

35. This has been going for a few years already but now I start to see some results: posing people for photography.

I know people which are quite good at it naturally, but at least for me it's a lot harder than learning a new programming language.

Learning something in which you're completely out of your comfort zone is even more rewarding.

70.17 years: Last big thing was the programming language Go, a few years ago.

    The last thing was differing opinions of Maimonides and Yehuda Halevi on primeval substances with regard to Creation Ex Nihilo.

    The very last thing was that the apartment next door is vacant and available for rent.

    The very very most recent thing is that I feel like answering this question.
