(Stefan - Twitch Streaming)
In this episode, I had the honour to have Stefan as my guest. He shared with me his interest in twitch streaming as his hobby.
Definition: Video game live streaming is an activity where people record themselves playing games to a live audience online. The practice became popular in the mid-2010s on US based sites such as Twitch and later, YouTube, Facebook and China based sites Huya Live, DouYu, Bilibili and other services. By 2014, Twitch streams had more traffic than HBO's online service, HBO Go. Professional streamers often combine high-level play and entertaining commentary, and earn income from sponsors, subscriptions, and donations. (Source: Wikipedia contributors. (2021, June 2).

(Dale - Laser Engraving)
In this episode, I had the honour to have Dale as my guest. He shared with me his interest in laser engraving as his hobby.
Definition: Laser engraving is the practice of using lasers to engrave an object. Laser marking, on the other hand, is a broader category of methods to leave marks on an object, which also includes color change due to chemical/molecular alteration, charring, foaming, melting, ablation, and more. The technique does not involve the use of inks, nor does it involve tool bits which contact the engraving surface and wear out, giving it an advantage over alternative engraving or marking technologies where inks or bit heads have to be replaced regularly. (Source: Wikipedia contributors. (2021, April 1). Laser engraving. In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia.
