    Short-term (last weekend and this weekend):

    I became inspired to learn the basics of neural networks after having watched 3blue1brown's playlist on the subject. I followed along with the playlist and read chapters 1 and 2 of the book he mentions in the descriptions , and was able to do the "hello world" of neural networks: identify the numbers from the MNIST database -- no fancy machine learning libraries, just me and a linear algebra library :)

    I'm not sure what I want to do with it yet (if anything), so I think I'm going to tidy it up, put my final code up on github somewhere, and shelve it for later. Maybe if I find something interesting to actually do with it, I'll pick it back up and learn some of the fancier NN techniques.

    Long-term:

    I've been interested in audio DSP for a while, but it's been a little bit of a brick wall for me for some reason. I want to figure out the best way to start learning it, and then go actually do it.

    I've created dead-simple VSTs before, but I'm lacking DSP chops to do anything interesting with it yet.
