I tend to try to work on a project that I have a personal need for. Currently I'm working on a budgeting application. My background is primarily in Desktop application development (C++ Qt, C# WPF, OpenGL, etc) in the games industry. For my budget application I chose to use Python as it's easy to do the annoying bits (string manipulation, filtering lists, serialize/deserialize json, xml, csv). I recently hit a point where I wanted to send some transactions to my wife for review and decided it would be useful if it was web based. Good time to learn some Django, which I did.

Having a young kid helps to keep me focused while I'm coding as I know my free time is very limited :)
