Reply To: Are we old codgers with weird hobbies?
I collected stamps for a little while, before it bored me to tears.
Yeah, me as well and coins from all over the world for a while. I also had a model railway layout for some years as a kid. It was most fun as long it is was not ready and something to tinker. But then the computer – C-64 – took over fast. Games of course but I already started some coding in BASIC. In fact the first music dabbled was coded in BASIC on the C-64 (nothing surived sadly/gladly) 😉
I would define a hobby generally as something you like to spend lots of your spare time with, that you don’t do for a living and that is not directly related to daily needs like shopping (although for some people that is hobby ;-)). Being designer/webdev things often mix between work and hobby. But music – and some making aka dabbling around to a lesser extend – is certainly huge part and it is for sure “time cosuming” by itself. And since it is film music, watching filme/series is tied to it naturally.
