How are your in the opposite camp of an article encouraging side projects when you say you have many side projects?

The author wrote about long periods of time when he wasn't encouraged to make anything creative, and just consume.

You're definitely not alone.

In my case it's somewhat of a learned behavior, a lot of my favorite video games make me violently motion sick so over time I just stopped playing them.

Most TV is pretty boring IMO. There's always exceptions but it's not something I find myself regularly being drawn to.

I'm always tinkering on something (a longtime favorite is gardening), and I'm pretty sure I'll always be tinkering until the day I die. Some of us are just wired differently.

Can be a little difficult to connect with the mainstream folks though. I pretty much live in a different world.

Thankfully the long tail of the Internet means there is a world you can connect to.
