I wonder if we should have a thread to start a discussion on hobbies and how they intersect with our digital devices. I’m guessing some hobbies at least have a clean break, but many don’t! Like e.g. growing up I trained on classical piano and still dabble, so I was surprised to see a few forum members mention recently how they’re using e-readers for sheet music and notation. It wasn’t an option when I was taught, and I use paper. So that sort of thing is fun to learn about.
I do also think that learning about people’s other activities generally, especially where they’re intersecting with tech, can be really fruitful. E.g. @Denny mentioned frog surveying (ecology person here, great use of tech!), and there’s probably all sorts of stuff we do that we don’t even talk about!
I love discussing methods. Most the time I don’t want to know how to mechanically do something (and help menus exist for that), I want to know how people are using a tool or solving a problem. That’s the main value of the forum to me.
