Technology

This question was taken from CodingHorror. On my list would be (and some actually are):

Android Development (and possibly iPhone development)
Go language and its concurrency
NoSQL, specifically CouchDB
RCTK, which happens to be my own idea / project (but all ideas have been thought or already, what matters is my implementation)

But I don't think I'm being cutting-edge/thinking-outside-the-box here. What's on your list?

Please don't restrict yourself to the list above - that's my list. I'm interested in hearing what others find interesting new technology.

I have 5 books in my "read-wish-list". When do I read them?
