3d printing: heard about it from a friend and started looking into it. Got hooked.
Laser etching/cutting: next logical step fron 3d peinting. Started researching. Got hooked.
Homebrewing: got hooked on craft beers as opposed to crap big brews. It’s expensive as hell so I started researching. Got hooked.
Moral of the story: careful what you research. You may get hooked.
I started 3d printing during COVID when people started talking about printing masks. I realized quickly that that wasn't a great idea but I had the printer at that point. Discovered quickly that it's was fun and useful for all kinds of stuff.
Printing lead to microcontrollers and minicomputera as I came up with cool stuff to print for neat home automation and various other useful tools.
This led to having a couple Raspberries kicking around which led me to extensive, self-hosted home automation. That's my current obsession.
I'm wondering where this goes next.You start breaking into people's houses, and while living in their walls you slowly automate their homes for them.
Note to self: take up lock picking.
