UCLA design student Matt Manos came up with a unique idea for his thesis: learning to do two things he's always wanted. Of course, these two things, playing the mandolin and riding a unicyle, seem pretty unrelated, so Manos added a twist. The result, in the form of a progress blog, is Manos' goal to play the mandolin atop a unicycle.
I want to learn how to ride the unicycle while playing the mandolin.
Whether or not I succeed, I hope this project will be a fun journey for you and me as I use this blog to track my learning process, successes, and (more likely) failures. Enjoy, and stay tuned.

This is quite a slap in the face to anybody who has actually created a thesis of any substance.
