All of these hobbies require some level of technical skill amd leave room to do
your own thing and create something unique. All of them involve communication
in some form too. Ham radio definitely has a communicating aspect, BBSs have
message areas (and sometimes real time chat), Linux users and the open source
movement are constantly communicating.
