I spent quite a few months this year learning how to setup a site with Jekyll and S3, which was nice to get away from Wordpress which had a lot of elements that distracted me.
Now i'm ready to sharpen the saw a bit on areas like animation, funky layout and more.
For example i think about an app like twitter - no one really thought it would take off the way it did but it just had something you can't really research ahead of time with google keywords.
