- forthelove 9y agoHere's my vote for skateboarding. You'll never look at boring old stairs, ledges, and curbs the same.
- PoachedSausage 9y agoI'm learning to inline roller skate, in my late thirties. I fell over again today, also humbling.
- danielharrison 9y agoSame goes for surfing. Your life will start revolving around weather patterns and swell forecasts.
- matwood 9y agoSadly, I do not surf as much anymore because I can no longer have my life revolve around tides and weather.
- jventura 9y agoSame for free flying, in my case paragliding. You'll start to better understand the weather, clouds, which side of the mountain is on the sunlight (because of thermals), and every small hill is an opportunity for flying, however short..
- Raffers 9y agoI stopped skating about 12 years ago now, still look at surfaces grain/height & think that would be a nice grind spot lol This thinking has certainly resurfaced more, since there has been a bit of a resurgence of skating within my city, at least in the last couple of years.
- Chiba-City 9y agovery true. I spent a few years deep diving into manual film photography, scanning and digital printing. I learned to study photographs upside down to see the geometries. The process logic, chemistry and relevant metrics opened my eyes and helped me appreciate fine photography. Algorithms are really great foundation for learning anything. I prefer outcome goals driving new learning experiences. My latest project is optimizing a homemade $10/day food regimen optimized for 1) gut immune health, 2) inflammation and 3) common North American seasonal allergies. I call it OSL - Open Source Longevity for retirees. I recently learned Wholefoods gives away premium fish heads for free around 10AM. I have never eaten better cost accounting for homemade tahini, yogurt and peanut butter.
- dflock 9y agoHave you written up the food thing anywhere? I'd be interested in details.
