Just not enough time in the day. Some open projects of mine that keep me up at night are below. There's probably more but these come to mind. Somewhere between working the day job, spending time with my family, and making sure I take care of my health and stress levels through excercise: I will make incremental progress.

1. rebuild IBM Model-M Keyboard after kids spilled water on it (open for 2 years now)

2. complete floating shelves in office (open since March - 95% done - slowwww)

3. build temperature sensor network for my house using ESPHome firmware and Home Assistant. Hardware purchased.

4. repurpose old 3d printer servo motors to automate etch-a-sketch (popular project out there). Software part started.

5. split-flap display: make my own. research on CAD models for 3d-printing completed.
