Just some random thoughts I've been working/wish I had more time to do:

I would a lot of my time just working and maintaining an app to write and categorize recipes I have at home. This would go hand in hand with just taking on more involved and elaborate cooking projects (ramen, making moles, smoked meats).

I would also just work on random ruby challenges all the time. Some cryptography stuff, some math or general programming challenges, but also just programs I can use. Something fun would be to make a really nice music player/manager using shoes, just for the fun of it. I like music programs that run natively in Linux versus just web players. Other than this just learn as much as I can by contributing to open source projects.

A BIG goal of mine would also be work towards being a polyglot. I studied linguistics and other languages in college, and every programming language I seem to come across just sees fascinating to me. I want to absorb these and just become very familiar with things like Go and Haskell, two of which of are particular interest.

Other than that, I want to work on my fitness. Jogging more, going to the gym during the day when it's not as busy, stuff like that. I also have various games I want to play, not so much projects but just for fun.
