On the desk right now
I love learning. If you do as well, then I hope some of the topics below will help you find the best and most enjoyable way to learn the same.
Currently studying
Blender
Blender is a software suite for 3D creation. It's the sort of tool that you would use to create computer-generated movies, visual effects, assets for 3D games, architectural visualizations, and a whole lot more. It's been on my radar for a long time.
Elixir Programming Language
Every decade, or so, I find my primary programming language changing. It's happening again and it looks like Elixir is what's next. It's a compelling language that has a lot of synergy with my interests and the work I'd like to do.
Modern Greek
My wife is Greek and I've fallen in love with the country. We spend a lot of time there and I'd like to speak the language. Plus, I'm making good on an old promise.
In the curriculum
AI & Machine Learning
I've had a multi-decade interest in AI. It's changed a lot since I studied it. Machine learning is definitely the current frontier.
Basic Drawing
I've always wanted to be able to better convey an idea visually or to capture something I see and want to remember. Even more than that, I think drawing is just as much about learning to see as it is learning to draw.
Electrical Engineering
In college, I learned the fundamentals of electrical engineering and was pretty adroit at designing digital circuits. I've since lost all of that knowledge. Let's get it back.
Paused, but not forgotten
Fundamental Mathematics
I used to know so much more math than I do now. It's the foundation of the sciences and a compelling way of thinking. This is the first step in getting back what I used to know.
Web Design
I can engineer a web application. Can I design one? Not so much. I'd like to be able to take whole projects from concept to launch.
