I just decided to start asking this instead of ‘what do you do?’ when meeting people. Figured I’d try it out on you folks.

    I had a professor whose ice breaker question was some version of, “what book do you want to write/planning to write?” Everyone seems to have one.

    Might not be as relevant today after blogs perhaps cleared that out of peoples’ systems.

    As for me, I cycle through mostly craft-based hobbies. Embroidery, leather work, candle making, 3D printing. I can make candles much faster than I can burn them, so that’s self-limiting. 3D printing is great to have the materials and skills for, and I’m slowly learning to design in Blender. But at the moment I only use it when I suddenly need to have a thing-a-ma-widget and remember: “hey! I’ve got a 3D printer. Of course I can make a valve stem cover!”

    I’ll probably be back to leather crafts as we head into the fall and winter.
