I love bridges. If I see a cool looking bridge, I want to cross it, especially if it goes somewhere that I'm not familiar with. Same with stairs outdoors. They feel like an adventure to me.

New video game releases from Nintendo. I'm all grown up and primarily game on PC but I still buy pretty much every Zelda release and recently beat Super Mario RPG 2023.

I adore mechanical stuff that looks too complicated to comprehend on the first look, old sewing machines, old typewriters, mechanical calculators, knitting machines, clocks and watches, marble tracks etc. I was abysmal in school math, today I'm collecting old mechanical and electronic calculators and slide rules (and use them & show 'em to the kids at schools) Scales and maps are another obsession.

Then again, my wife says I have mild ADHD or something in that direction, idk.
