Wanted

I need a new hobby. Something to occupy my hands, and my mind.

I did myself a disservice in my early 20's by voraciously skipping from one hobby to another, and find myself approaching forty wondering what to do next.

My criteria is impossibly convoluted, likely impossible to meet:

* Not overly expensive
* Not overly messy
* The byproduct doesn't take up a lot of space
* The byproduct is something I could either easily sell, or find a home for
* See results relatively quickly, yet isn't something too easy

(Maybe the mindset I'm expressing by calling something a "byproduct" of a hobby isn't exactly in the spirit of hobbies?)

It would be cool if I found a way to combine this hobby with this little blog of mine, and develop a small community to inspire me. Alas, I'm at a loss as to how this could happen.

Perhaps I'm at a point in my life where my hobby is recognizing the brilliance of others, and appreciating what they do in their little corners of the world.

Multitasking

It's not enough to make phone calls or listen to audio books while driving. Those are both effective ways to accomplish more in less time, but drastic times call for drastic measures.

Fold laundry while enjoying some private time on the, er, no way to put this delicately, toilet. Have an audio book on in the background, for the multitasking trifecta. Bonus!
