Pet projects are a must if you really want to develop your skills, and it’s a good way to keep up with all the new and fancy APIs.

I find Evernote an invaluable program for keeping track of idea’s. That way I don’t forget them and can investigate the idea when I have some spare time. That’s how font dragr started, crazy idea born into a pet project.

Your link to Jos Buivenga site keeps timing out for me, I put a www in front and that stopped the timeout issues.
