Things I learned in 2014:
1- Hawaii is in the Hawaiian timezone.
2- "Spelt" is a completely correct alternative to "spelled."
3- How to ride a motorcycle.
4- I can own my very own pinball!
5- To verify the brand name on the label of new soldering iron tips; just because it's on the same shelf in a very similar looking package does not mean it's the right brand.
6- How to solder (this is still in progress)
7- That the literal translation of "Je ne sais quoi," means "I don't know what." And that's hilarious.
8- My girlfriend is better at SS than I am
