My ideal funemployment project would be hacking on Scrabble stuff, but seems more responsible to do something to build and prove transferrable skills, so I'm planning to build a music recommendation site using Spotify public APIs and whatever else I can scrape. Pleased that I've got things sort of in motion 36 hours after the bad news, on a weekend. People say you're supposed to grieve in the first week instead of trying to solve the problem but I've really been dying to do something productive.
