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.
