What is a new thing, a new something that you have recently gotten into, or that you have been a long time participant in, that you find very entertaining and fun and time consuming and distracting?
What things would we need to purchase to get into that thing?
How did you get into that thing?
'Tis the season for over-the-top programmable RGB holiday light displays choreographed to music.

(I haven’t gotten to the “choreographed to music” part of the hobby yet.)
You need a bunch of WS2812 or similar LEDs, esp32 microcontrollers, wires, power supplies, mounting hardware, etc.
I thought about something like that because I live in a geodesic dome home and it would be really great to be able to program my house to look like a gumdrop for Christmas, or a pumpkin or a skull for Halloween.
I’m just worried that I would annoy the shit out of my neighbors in the process.
You live in a geodesic dome house. Clearly, you already don’t care what anybody else thinks!
(That’s kinda awesome, BTW.)
I like it for a lot of reasons, but the lack of right angles makes interior decoration a nightmare.
Almost every angle in the house is like 60 degrees, which doesn’t play well with mostly rectangular furniture.
Ah, well, in that case, furniture-making should definitely be among your new hobbies.
I wonder how long it would take me to be able to build the beetlejuice style furniture I would need for everything to fit in my house, lol
