Hey all, my title might be a bit misleading because I am not directly looking for answers, this is going to be more like a snapshot of what's going on in my head. A little bit about myself: I recently finished the educational part of my university (think lectures and exams) and just now started working in a corporation to begin my masters thesis. With that pressure of always needing to prepare for the next exam or assignment I hit a bit of a slouch. If people ask me what I like to do and what my interests are I always tell them "I collect hobbies like they are Pokemon", because that's what I do. If I find something that interests me in that moment I will obsessively learn about it and immerse myself in it. For the most part these may be considered "nerdy" or "unnecessary" for most people. A few examples:

  • I enjoy coffee and everything that comes with it, be it brew-techniques, finding new coffee or trying to brew the best coffee I can in my home
  • Mechanical Keyboards and trying to improve my typing
  • dabbling in retro-emulation
  • researching gadgets and small things/workflows to make my life easier These are just a few things that interest me and there are many more. I've heard people tell me that the things that interest me are not necessary for modern life and are just "nice to have". This doesn't discourage me because I do these things for me. I have this drive to try and optimise "the small things" like: Most people drink coffee every day of their adult life, why not make that as pleasant as it can be? Shaving, a chore for most guys, why not spice it up with an old school safety razor? You get the gist. Most of the time I am not simply "content" with the way things are "out of the box" and I want to make the most of it. Thus I am a person who knows a little about a lot of things and I even for the things I don't find interesting I can get why other people do. This brings me back to the title. I have all these topics and I want to do something with it. I would not classify myself as "creative" as I am not good with things like painting or photography. Picture me more like a walking Wikipedia article. I am looking for something where I can share what interests me at that particular point of time. Like a blog where I do "weekly updates of my life" or Journaling. Do you have any ideas of what I could do or how I could share what interests me?

I have a few hobbies (if I could call them that), but I think the main interesting one to recommend is anamorphosis art. Have you heard of it?
