We all make all sorts of promises to ourselves about how when we have some free time, we’re going to get to various projects.

Having to make one thing a day means you’ll almost certainly have to simplify what you’re doing, maybe even do some things you don’t necessarily like — but always do something, which could be a great learning experience. My favorite so far: his Matchbox Synthesizer.
