# Things that I know nothing about

I believe in learning all the time,  but there are definitely some things that I know nothing about (but would like to some day). I hope to cross things off of this list, but for now they remain:

- Player pianos – how they work and why they aren’t more readily available.
- Programming applications built on available [API](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_programming_interface)‘s – I would like to build applications upon [Tokbox](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokbox), [Google Reader](http://www.google.com/reader), and [Twitter](http://twitter.com/) (i.e., Why hasn’t anyone built a twitter application specifically for educators?)
- Making a to do list and then crossing of each item – I cross of all but a few and then I let the rest of them fester.
- Creating a webserver without using [mamp](http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html) or [xampp](http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html) – I would like to know how you open and close ports and set up a server from scratch. I don’t want to be an IT wonk. I just want to know how to do it.
- Reading music for guitar- I have tried so many times, but in the end, I always manage to simply rely on the chords I already know and write a new song without learning how to read someone else’s work.
