New Hobby
I have run out of ways to express myself with my computer. I have done the bloging thing and web sites and created skins for my media players but now I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

Hey Zune80 what do you do with the images after you edit them?

I post them on Flickr, I enter photography challenges, I submit them to magazine contests etc. Also compiling certain ones for a book and prints. I also have intentions of submitting some to stock photo companies for royalties etc. There is a lot one can do with them.

*heh* My whole excuse for buying a PC (many moons ago) was that my scoring (for voices and instruments) was difficult for my singers/players to read and with excellent music transcription software that'd run on a 286, I just couldn't pass up buying one.
A couple of decades later, and many upgrades of both hardware and software later, I still use a PC to write musical scores. Along the way, I branched out into software/hardware that's more recording oriented as well.
Not for everyone, but I find writing/arranging and recording music using my computers to be a huge creative outlet. Yeh, yeh, a little photography thrown in the mix in recent years, as well as other writing and whatnot.

If you express yourself in ways that do not involve computers, then think about how to transfer that to digital. If not, then maybe take a course or find someone who does neat things that are either digital or traditional, and think about doing something with or like that. I always wanted to draw, and if I did I would want to see how it is done digitally. Then I would like to see how the digital could be altered with various effects: rotating, 3-d, distorting, collaging, etc. Hope you find a way.

You could create music as I have been doing for about nine years with Sony's Acid. There is also Ableton Live or Garageband for the Mac.
There are MANY graphics programs out there, like ArtRage for painterly type stuff, Xara Xtreme - a vector drawing program.
Skinning the taskbar and window frames and menus on Windows with Stardock's Windowblinds or creating dock skins for Object Dock or Rocket Dock
Creating games and multimedia programs with Multimedia Fusion or Gamemaker.
Photo and video editing
or you could turn off the computer and read a book.
