One new skill I've been trying to learn in my spare time is computer coding. I've signed up for Code Year, a free year-long battery of weekly coding lessons from Codeacademy.com. So far I'm still in the simple stuff, but it's really interesting and kind of fun too. Completing the tasks requires lots of recall from previous lessons, and a good deal of problem solving.
A little silly? Maybe. But it can't hurt to know a little about how all these computers that surround us more and more each year actually do what they do.
