I got an iPad and the pencil and I'm drawing a lot. It's super relaxing and fun to see the finished product. Plus, this is my first time really doing digital art so I'm blown away by how sophisticated the tooling is.

I did a show hackernews a month ago and it did pretty well. It's been pretty great since then. I have had people write to me thank you emails and some pretty cool stories like one grandparent that told me they used it to read to their newly born grandchild!

On top of that it has got me back into programming which I don't do in my day job and it finally gave me a project where I can use Phoenix liveview.

Now as a family we have also got into baking bread - we didn't realize how easy it is to make good bread at home and it just taste so much better. It's been a lot of fun and the kids love doing it with us.

I made a few digital Montessori tools for my wife and her students. Somewhat unexpectedly, it's seeing about 15k visitors per day: https://montessori.tools/

There's a lot more I would like to build, but "real work" takes priority.

On top of working from home...

Tilting once again at the windmills of mechanical CAD software. I’ve gotten further than ever before in the coding, and in past attempts built up good knowledge on topological data structures, mathematics of splines, and solving systems of polynomial equations.

Also doing just-for-fun things like playing the guitar, working on a boat design (and learning strength of materials), biking, cooking, etc.
