In no particular order:
- Finally do those after-class reading + tutoring sessions for kids in my daughter’s school.
- Sign up for shifts on the “Good-Night-Bus” in my local town that looks after homeless people during night-time.
- Play hand-pan, guitar & other random instruments at local relaxation spots to add to the overall atmosphere of “the good life”
- regularly offer my handymen skills to my neighborhood via local web-platform and also contribute to “Repair-Cafés” as a helping hand
- Find a local community-garden project to help out at so that the city stays 0.1% greener than without me
- Offer my yet-currently-relevant professional skills (Frontend / WebPerf / CDNs / DevOps) to a NGO that couldn’t usually afford my wages (again: preferably something relevant to my region to feel a sense of impact)
- Keep maintaining my OpenSource repositories and publish new ideas ASAP to prevent Software Patents
+1 on this. Hiker+Trail-Runner here. So I sometimes encounter cows on high mountain passes where taking a detour can mean hours of delay. But after getting kicked like that once, I am very careful around herds, esp. when they have young ones / horns (as they often do grassing on mountains) / bulls in the mix.
