What are you working on? January 2014

Happy new year! This is the supposedly-bimonthly-but-we-keep-skipping 'What are you working On?' thread. Previous threads are here. So here's the question:

What are you working on?

Here are some guidelines:

Focus on projects that you have recently made progress on, not projects that you're thinking about doing but haven't started.
Why this project and not others? Mention reasons why you're doing the project and/or why others should contribute to your project (if applicable).
Talk about your goals for the project.
Any kind of project is fair game: personal improvement, research project, art project, whatever.
Link to your work if it's linkable.

I give 10:1 odds that a well written post on "dealing with a major life crisis" will attract a lot of interest. Whether it will be Mainable depends on how much others can learn from your story, and from your short summary it looks like there are some interesting lessons to be had. If you want to run a few things by a smaller audience first, the Freenode #lesswrong IRC channel seems like a place to start.
