I am trying to decide on what to do for my 20% Project. The two activities I have narrowed my focus down to are cooking or playing piano. While cooking is something that I believe will be useful throughout my life, the piano is an instrument I briefly attempted to learn to play once before. Both seem to be interesting to learn. I feel cooking is more useful, but it might bring too many investments in buying food, taking the time to cook, and not throwing off my current dinners with the family. Piano on the other hand would simply be a hobby, not something I plan to take any further than an occasional way to pass time. What do you think?

I like your ideas for the 20time project, both could be very interesting projects. While I agree with you that cooking would undoubtedly be more useful in your everyday life, I think that learning the piano would work better in this context. If you do not already have a keyboard or piano to practice on I bet you could get one pretty cheaply on craigslist.
