Another hobby I have is spending time with our cats.

collecting unusual audio recordings. latest acquisition is a recording of the "stalacpipe organ" [a lithophone] inside luray caverns in w. va. very relaxing sounds therein, what with mineral-laden water dripping onto the cavern floor off of the thousands of stalactites therein, providing musical counterpoint to the "organ" stylings.

I keep Tropical plants and fish. I also walk a lot. I got 33,000 steps today.

Listening to and reading about opera. Collecting names of opera singers and stories about them. Reading poetry.

Collecting vinyl LPs, reading (particularly genre fiction, comic books and books on history, politics, economics, film, music and art), going to concerts and music festivals, visiting museums and art galleries, watching tennis (on TV and in person), watching films and TV shows, attending talks, lectures, Q&As and panel discussions relating to my interests, following coverage of election results and studying past election results and going for walks around London parks and other green spaces. So quite a lot of stuff to keep me busy!

The distinctions between applying Tech. for hobbies, and applying Tech. for non-hobby purposes can sometimes be well............blurred distinctions.

Digital-art (not inspired by Tech.) is a good hobby. Writing esp. creative writing (even with the help of word processing) can also be a good pastime.

Hobbies (away from computer TECH.) include seeking-out art and design books (coffee-table variety). Going to art-galleries is a good pastime.

Creating (non-digital-art) the "old-fashioned ways" would constitute a true hobby!

When I'm not studying, I like to make braids using a specific form of it called Kumihimo. I've even sold some of my braids in the past.

if the latest version of iZotopeRX6 has true vocal extraction-from-monophonic, I will quickly get it [going into debt to do so] and use it to stereoize zillions of mono recordings in my collection.
