It’s the last of the Monkeys from Blork. From his post:
The theme is “give me a year.” What would you do if you had a free year, all to yourself, to dedicate to whatever you wanted? Assume money was not a problem — you’ve just received a $60,000 Monkey Grant.
Well first of all, $60,000?? That’s not gonna work, unless we get Monkey-Mortgage-Payments too. It looks like travelling around the world isn’t going to be an option though, so I’ve been thinking about stay at home options.
One thing I’d like to try, that’s always been a little out of my reach, is to start my own business. I’d like to set up small web portal systems for small businesses who can’t afford the big corporate web development services.
That’s a bit too close to real work though, so I’m not sure it would count as a year off… I’m about to embark on a new hobby in January, attending the Merlin Wood School for an introductory woodworking course, so maybe I could dedicate my year to that and perhaps manage to produce more than a spice rack by the end of it.
Of course, I wouldn’t spend every waking hour in the wood shop, so to fill the rest of my time I would indulge in much reading, movie watching, cooking, hiking and exploring this great city of ours.
