My hobbies

/ NOV 05, 2021

I've always had a main hobby or "special interest," which switches to a new one serially, a sort of one-at-a-time obsession which never really fades away:

  • Telescopes
  • Science fiction
  • Radios
  • Nero Wolfe novels
  • Old Time radio
  • Computers and mild hacking
  • Electronics
  • Ham radio
  • History of science
  • Playing guitar
  • Running
  • Reading poetry (never got any good at it, though)
  • Mountain biking
  • Large format photography, including color film/print developing
  • Web and database programming (see link above, mostly .asp in VBScript)
  • Running a web server
  • ATV
  • Camping in the desert
  • Sony minidisc
  • Collecting/organizing digital media
  • Nature audio recording
  • Timelapse video
  • Exercise
  • Midcentury modern architecture
  • Nature drawing (failed)
  • Driving/modding my FR-S
  • Baseball (left over from when I was a kid, this didn't work out at all; too much information to process when the ball came toward me so I never had much hitting coordination, and then the MLB got greedier than I wanted to pay for so I stopped even watching)
  • History of alchemy
  • Sumo fan (thanks, NHK!)

Once I've had it, I always have it. Except exercise. I've let that one go a bit. And of course baseball.
