Soldering looks fine to me, but my standards for a lot of things aren't sky-high. The secret to pretty soldering is to use a little bit of flux to make the solder adhere more readily, and to heat the element (the lead of the component) instead of the solder. Also, be sure to clean, or even sand the tip of your iron, and tin it with solder so it doesn't get all corroded and become a mess to use. Practice makes perfect, but only after study. There are a billion excellent soldering guides on Youtube.
On my end, I've just been dragging my feet on ordering low-profile CR2032 sockets for NES games with dead batteries, hunting for things that could use new icons in Windows 3, and looking for means of producing neon-futuristic imagery without doing it the hard (manual) way. I don't want to spend 20 hours gradient-filling cones and spheres to make more Trapper-Keeper style wallpapers. The last two I did took forever as they kept crashing PSP.

Icons, wallpapers, and typical Oldternet nonsense.
