#14I have a few goals in mind:
1. Get more flexible. I'd like to be able to touch my toes. Stretch goal (pun slightly intended): palms to the ground
2. Finish 3 (BotW, Doom, and Celeste) of my Switch games. I've done a good job of playing a few hours of some great games, but I'd really like to see some of them through.
3. Deep dive into Clojure. For someone that uses it daily at work, I really feel like I ought to know it better.
4. Complete the Rust book and explore some ideas using WASM and WASI.
5. Another triathlon. I did one (slowly) 3 years ago. It'd be fun to train again and try to better my time.
