Awesome thread!  This is why I love barcamp.  Any and all of this would fit at one.

My lists:

Work - 
Git
Hadoop
Python
CSS - still confounds my procedural mind...
More Drupal
Explaining RDF better
Explaining lots of tech stuff better
Marketing

Life -
How to make money at photography
Artistic photo editing
Photo printing that doesn't look awful
Caloric self control
Wine appreciation - ok, this one is a lie.  BEER!!!
Advanced lock picking
Better covert security seal defeats
Being nicer to Royt.  Might also be a lie.  ;)

Subject: [CODE4LIB] What do you wish you had time to learn?

Hello All,

I am doing a presentation at RILA (Rhode Island Library Association) on changing skill sets for Systems Librarians.  I did a formal survey a while back (if you participated, thank you) but this stuff changes so quickly I thought I would ask this another way.  What do you wish you had time to learn?

My list includes


CouchDB(NoSQL in general)
neo4j
nodejs
prototype
API Mashups
R

Don't be afraid to include Latin or Greek History.  I'm just going for a snapshot of System angst at not knowing everything.

Thanks,
