We are all more than our keyboards. What do you do when the screen is off?

I have been getting into film photography over the last year. Started with a cheap Pentax K1000 and a roll of Kodak Gold 200. There is something genuinely enjoyable about having 36 shots and having to be deliberate about each one - the opposite of digital where you shoot 400 and sort later. Darkroom development is next on the list, been watching a lot of YouTube rabbit holes about that.

Also run about 30km a week. Started during lockdown for sanity and never stopped. If you want to think through a problem, there is no better tool than an hour on your feet with no phone.

What about you?

Outside of tech: cycling. Started doing longer rides last year and it's become the main thing I do to clear my head from screens.

There's something particularly good about an activity that requires enough attention that you can't think about work, but is meditative in a way that sitting at a desk isn't. An hour on a bike does more for my focus than an hour of "rest" with my phone.

Practical benefit: I can get to most places I need to go in my city faster than driving once you factor in parking. It's turned from exercise into just... transport.

Anyone else here cycle? Interested in road cycling, gravel, or even urban commuting setups.
