Here’s an ambitous list:

1. Learn some Python w/Django
2. Get myself Railed a bit
3. Figure out PostgreSQL
4. Write an iPhone/iPod Touch App
5. Write an Android App
6. Finish the Zend Framework version of pileofcrap.org
7. Make sillysounds.net not suck
8. Do a top-secret startup.
9. Do another top-secret startup.
10. See if I can get this Gravis MouseStickII working.
