Interesting question, techdemic. Just to mention for questions like this on HackerNews it's often common to prepend the post with 'Ask HN:' in the title.

As for what I'm working on in the summer. If everything goes to plan.

- A directory of startup tools

- Brush up on my probability and statistics with the help of the Khan Academy and some text books.

- Then explore machine learning. Hope to go through the Stanford Machine learning video lectures. Then apply some of the modelling to the project above.

As for goals, I'd like to be ramen profitable with the tool/service directory.
