I practice fencing, I'm a fencer. Now I'm not the best fencer around but I'm at competitive tournaments several times a year.

Biggest tournament I participate in is the Arnold Classic. It's a huge sports festival hosted by Arnold Swarzenegger, while it's primarily a weightlifting and bodybuilding event they have just about every sport you can imagine and some you probably haven't. Arnold is there too, I've seen him almost every year. Hell of an event, I like seeing the other sports almost as much as I enjoy fencing in it.

And I've been trying to learn to play the bagpipes lately.

It's actually not as complicated as you might imagine. Now, I've never played a musical instrument before but this actually seems like something I could do with lots of practice. I just think it's neat, I'd like to be able to play something with some degree of proficiency. Like, other instruments are more complicated - there are only 9 holes, it plays in one octave, and there's no special blowing technique to it. Compare that to a trumpet, a flute, a saxophone. Bagpipes, quite simple in comparison.

It's a work in progress, I can play a few little tunes.

Audio stuff is really a fun Hobby for me although I have not bought anything in the last year, but I'm waiting for the 300$ IEM market to grow, there is no need for me to consider going back to check stuff out right now

I am happy with the split Ortho keyboard I made and I feel it's at a good state where it doesn't need to be touched

I finished my Small Form Factor PC

I got one single good pen I like, a r0tring, and it's the only pen I use

I'm waiting to find people in my life to try the board game I'm creating

My god, am I, running out of things to do in the things I like. Or is it just that my passion is just building Tech stuff

What are the specs of your sff build?
