Develop my current podcast further, as well as work on at least 1 or 2 other podcast ideas I have. So many great ideas, so little time.

I would absolutely have a blast being a full time stay-at-home Dad. We would hit every Park, library, zoo, and aquarium within a days drive.

Then during the summer, I'd pass their kids to their grandparents house so my wife and I could find a place to SCUBA for 2 weeks straight.

I kind of did this once! Essentially I got laid of from a job but happened to have a good money buffer and life was quite inexpensive at the time, so I just thought "fuck it" and went as long as I could without working, I made it about a year.

It was awesome! My mental health has never been better, I wrote most of a book, got pretty decent at Blender, started working on learning to make games... and then I had to go back to work and it all went to shit lol, that was several years ago and I haven't touched any of it since.

I would like to work on the next generation of a sports league management system. I've created a couple for leagues I've been involved in and would like to make an open source project that is usable by others. Between the two leagues, they have a lot of differences in the sports, how they are organized, the competitions they run, etc.

The other thing I would love to do is travel more. The where to isn't important but rather the how. I would love to do the van life thing part time with a couple of caveats: 1. I would really like the van to be powered by electricity and 2. I want a decent work setup which means 2x27" monitors ideally.

For the power, there are BEV models available now but the range is lacking at say 150 miles. For the workstation, the thing that has kind of been worrying me is how much room a decent chair will take up. I've seen a couple of videos where people used swivel front seats so that is intriguing.

If I had a van, I'd spend some time building it out and if it was set up I could work on my league management system while meandering around.

  • Learn how to cook fancy food
  • Gym like hours a day
  • Start a dinner club (my husband loves the idea)
  • Pro bono tech support/advice for charitable organisations and non-profits

Prioritize exercise. Try to gear towards being able to run a marathon and doing some strength training and yoga.

Cook more for myself. I don't think I'd go full vegetarian, but I'd probably have less meat dishes overall.

Try to learn Spanish or Portuguese using one of those quick learning methods.

Take at least two cross continent trips. One would be between the two inhabited North American coasts. The second would either be Europe from Portugal to Finland, Australia, or the Americas from North to South.

Maybe live in a low cost Spanish or Portuguese speaking city for a month.
