I'm learning to drum and it's one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. I've tried to play other instruments before and despite a lot of practice, I never got very far. I'm really connecting this time and it's amazing. Hoping to get paid a few bucks an hour in a couple of weeks so it counts as a product :)
I just finished with our own micro publishing platform, currently building a tool to solve a huge problem that publishers have, and work on a hardware whose build process will be documented in an educational video series. Burning through saving with a maximum of fun.
Nothing remotely capable of being commercialized, but I had some pretty ambitious projects stuck in the pipeline.
If I had any remotely valuable idea I cared about, I’d probably swallow some risk and try my hand at the startup thing, but I don’t .
Im slowly "working" on a few. A couple web platform projects just for fun and some concrete sculptures of old computing hardware.
Cool question to put on HN, might get increased attention with the "Ask HN:" in the title?
