DIY & Hobbies

Remember when blogging was a hobby? People had a homepage which they maintained as they were passionate about a hobby or a band or a niche. Now blogging is seen as personal branding, people want to become social media influencers. They want brands to send them free products, they want to go on free trips, they want to be celebrities.

I’ve been blogging and maintaining a homepage for over twenty years. It definitely started as a hobby, I focussed on miniature painting, gaming particularly Warhammer 40,000, but I also wrote about bands I was passionate about and projects I was working on. Then I did an MBA and eventually the CFA® Program and I had to sacrifice my hobbies on the alter of my career.

I stopped painting miniatures, I stopped playing games, I even stopped playing guitar all in an attempt to pass three CFA exams. Eventually I did pass all three exams, so now I make time for miniature painting, sometimes I even play games, or my guitar and although I have no DIY project at the moment, I probably will fix an old piece of furniture again really soon.

If you want to follow my miniature painting exploits, that now has a separate blog. I am not currently playing any video games, but may again someday. I just prefer tabletop gaming and the tactility of guitar to being online, all the time. If you share some of my hobbies you can peruse this blog archive or you can contact me using email or social media.
