I am making this website to showcase all the things I enjoy. Technology is a big part of my interests. I would say computers, all aspects of them, are my biggest hobby. In some way computer technology intertwines into my hobbies. This website is a perfect example; I had to learn how to get a website, set up the website, and put information on the website. Many would say computers are a passion of mine, and I would have to agree. I’ve been interested in computers and programming since the early 1980’s. I wasn’t able to owned my first computer until the mid 80’s. My first computer was basically nothing more than a toy: it was a Coleco Adam.
The Adam aimed to be an all-in-one computer package, targeting a family audience for both education and gaming purposes, with a price target around $600, a pretty compelling pitch. Donald Papp
Another hobby of mine is walking; I try to walk 3 miles most days. A way that I’ve incorporated technology into my walking is I have an Amazfit GTS 4 Smart Watch which I use to keep track of my distance and speed walked. I then keep track of my distance walked by doing an online virtual walk. A virtual walk is when you keep track of your distance walked and see how far you’ve walked on a simulated walk. I am currently on a virtual walk called Naturally California. I’m walking to and visiting the major national parks in California. I keep track of my progress using a website called worldwalking.org.
Bicycling is another outdoor activity that I enjoy. Last year for my birthday I got an electric bike. I just haven’t been able to ride it nearly as much as I would like.
