These are technologies that I haven't had sufficient time to play with but I'd like to have some more time to mess with. Besides the practical matter of keeping a technical leg up in the employment and entrepreneurial markets, I like messing around with new technologies that promise to make technical problem solving and application development easier.

These are in no particular order of importance, just a chronology of when I noted to myself that there's a technology I want to mess around with.

This page came about after a conversation where I'd been asked "So what technologies interest or intrigue you right now?" I didn't have a good answer off the top of my head in part due to the fact that at any given time there's always a lot of things that sound interesting but I only have so much time in the day and have to weigh competing priorities and thus those interests get buried in churn of activity.

By having an established place to keep track of these things, hopefully I'll do a better job of minding my "saw sharpening" priorities.
