Mine is mapping. I am a big OpenStreetMap contributor and I have mapped many towns near me that were previously completely unmapped.

Initially thought I didn't have one, because I was thinking it had to be, like, things you do or whatever. Like wood carving or building something. Then I realized I absolutely do. Lol

Philosophy and religious studies. Non dualism especially, but honestly, I just love learning about different philosophical ideas. I love Anthropology in general, and the differences and similarities between disparate cultures is downright fucking fascinating. People tend to think that the differences in, say, Hinduism and Christianity are pretty great, and they absolutely can be, but if you dive into the deep thinkers of either tradition you tend to find that oftentimes they're trying to say the same things.

What are you doing with your time this week then? 😬

We love OSM for finding gravel routes for our bikes. However, since no bike maps ever say the state of the gravel, and mark many as paved, we've been pre-driving and contributing. It's fun!

In any event, my interest is serial hobbying. I'm a maker, so my site is full of random projects. I'm in a techy phase right now, so just released some Steam Deck accessories, the Only Sensor, and am now working on a DIY solder extractor and building a Voron.

This week I mapped one small town in full (took only 2 days lol). I also mapped various cemetery roads and did a few other assorted things. I also had a couple days off since OSM was down.

I love learning about Chinese culture both real and mythological. I am learning some mandarin on the side and hope to take a trip to mainland China someday.

How do you map

Is there any liability? NSA, angry exes, employer, anybody finding out that you mapped your own town?

Why would someone be mad you mapped a town?

For awhile there it was light sport aviation. I'm a CFI-SP and an LSRM-A. I'm a walking flight school, just add airplane. Been out of the game awhile but that was my specialty for much of my 20's.
