Things I've Just Done

Continuing the theme from the past few days.

I finally decided to learn piano, bought a year subscription to an app, and practiced for 10 minutes a day at least 5 times a week for a year.

I saw that there were a bunch of other starship bridge simulators out there, figured none of them did what I wanted them to do, and made my own.

I watched someone make croissants on the Great British Bake Off, thought "oh, that's easier than I thought," and baked croissants.

I wanted to learn music composition, so I started transcribing songs that I like using crappy MIDI instruments.

I wanted to write more, so I started this blog.

I didn't like the component library and styling conventions that we used at work, so I did some research, wrote up several RFCs, and turned the whole company around.

I did the same thing with data fetching.

I wanted a meal planner app, so I just made one from scratch.

That app sucked, so I just bought one that works much better.

A good relationship with my mom is important to me, so I just decided I was going to call her on the phone once a week, and have done so for years.

I wanted my own tool for compressing videos that I could give to other people, so I made one.

I'm certain I'm missing things. Oh well. Maybe I'll add to this list, or make a new list some day.
