What is this blog about?

There are countless times when people get bored.

The Internet provides a nearly infinite source of entertainment, and many communities develop around more or less known hobbies.

However, it is often very difficult to discover new things, especially as most sites try very hard to tailor content to your habits or expectations.
That gets you caught in a bubble of familiar things that you never get out of and you never stumble upon new interesting things.

This blogs aims at featuring some of the lesser known, quick, fun or cool hobbies projects or experiments you might have never considered or didn't know existed.



I hope it helps you discover new topics or things to try, or maybe hobbies to pick up.
Be it for a rainy weekend project, or to fill your retirement time.

For each topic, I'll try to share with you a bit of background,a getting started, some essential or advanced references, and my personal feedback on it, because yes, I've personally done all of the things I will write about.

Not to spoil anything but, some of the topics we will cover over time will include:

- Badass past times such as, butterfly knife and Zippo tricks,whip making and cracking, knife throwing, fire eating and breathing, lock picking
- Craft and DIY past times, such as metalworking, forging, metal casting, knot tying, paracord stuff, mead and beer brewing, origami, electronics and radio, hydroponics or phography tricks
- Cool past times such as magic, escapology, building RC models and quadcopters, bushcraft and survival,making slings slinghsots,blowguns, hypnosis
- Old school games,past times or simple things or weekend projects,
- And some niche unknown past times such as as the ancient art of dorodango, juggling begleri beads, furoshiki or playing mumblety peg.

So if you are bored, a jack of all trades looking for your next hobby or an aspiring cool kid around the block, I hope you find something interesting in those pages.

  1. I am particularly interested with the cool past times projects, building RC modes/planes to be precise. This can be a good project, instead of buying a commercially made RC plane. At the moment, I am planning to buy the Volantex RRC Ranger. See more here: http://mydronelab.com/best-pick/best-rc-plane-with-camera.html
