I fully rewrote, updated and released a webapp called WantMyJob.com.
I wrote a circuit simulator game called Shanna's Pizza to start teaching my two-year-old the basics of programming. I also started doing Snap Circuits with her so she'd have a physical basis to understand the circuit simulator game. Also, had a second kid.
I wrote a Rails 3 tutorial, including an app with logins and nested resources, called RefactorIt!
I finally put together a real programming portfolio, on the web and everything (angelbob.com/portfolio).
I read up on Bayesian Statistics and Data Analysis (thanks, O'Reilly!).
I blogged and blogged and blogged.
I reworked, resurrected and took screen shots of a scary amount of my old work, partly for the portfolio. This sort of blurs with converting my old Rails stuff to Rails 3, but I did some of both.
I continued to work on my day job, of course. And gave a JRuby presentation for Engine Yard based on what we do there.
Did you know you get more done if you write it down somewhere (like a blog and portfolio) and tell people about it? True story.
That's probably part of Zed's trick, too.
