Weekend Open Forum: Hobbies away from the PC

Art, guitar, cycling, hiking and chasing after the ladies while I'm not doing any of the former. Nothing like a long walk through the forest to calm the nerves. I've also been known to go for a few drinks from time to time.
 
I ride my motorcycle, and also work on it along with my parents vehicles. I also work out every day in some form or another.
 
Reading about AI, or just reading in general...Skiing, guitar, traveling, biking, rollerblading, driving, school, tennis
 
Soccer, cycling, drawing, building stuff- electronics, woodworking, bicycles, and more. I also do some programming for fun (in Python), but I suppose that's PC related. Most of my free time goes towards school, but I can't say that's a hobby of mine.
 
Playing with my kids, hunting, fishing, shooting, car repair, home repair, computer repair and building, reading books
 
Hobbies

Well I tend to work and spend 99% of my time on the computer soo... My hobbies are building computers, ripping electronics apart and fixing them and working for Engineering and Physics departments at MSCD.

Sleep is a waste of time if you work 50 hours a week and are also taking 18 credits.
 
I keep birds out of my garden >_> they eat the leaf buds and it really pisses me off!! >:\
 
Nice question indeed, but I'm a bit anxious when i found out my answer is terrible.
I'm a monitor fan, so I'm often stuck to one :p ...

sharing between work, gaming, movies, TV series, internet (social network/shopping/forums/research/training), :S .... too many monitors ...

beside i have to share my life with the wife, family, shopping offline & i live on a little paradise with beautiful beaches, sunsets, nature tracks, mountains, beautiful girls, shopping complexes, etc... etc...

90% of my time in front of monitor ... shame on me *doh*

cheers!
 
Car restoration (mainly mopars), Cooking (even though it's my profession), Painting (portraiture, graphics and tattoo designs), Reading (hard sci-fi/cyberpunk/bizarro esp.), Chess, and when in season game fishing....oh, and beer, spirit and wine tasting (informal basis only- none of that spitting the stuff out business)
 
Another tennis player here :). I also play soccer depending on the time of the year. I'm a TV buff, too, but let's say that doesn't count because it's more time in front of a screen. So besides sports I like to play cards with friends and family and during the past year or so I've also spent a LOT of time with constructors and the architect building my house.
 
When I am absent from my computer I am usually at school, if i'm not im usually fapping, eating, or sleeping. I'd say my hobby is thinking about computers, or thinking about all the girls that I could never get.

This has to be one of the coolest threads on Techspot in a while, thanks Matthew!
 
I play soccer / squash / cricket (not in any particular order) when I have time; infact I'm arranging a cricket match next week between two of our departments ;). I also like reading, nothing I particularly like, therefore, it can be anything which is interesting enough to get my attention; so it can be Geological History or something from TC or worst still current affairs. I used to play rugby and chess as well but not any more. But I do follow LOTS of sports.

Apart from the above, I occasionaly have found myself crashing into police cars (not because of any error on my part) and running over a policeman once (which I must admit was fun). I have left out stuff like hanging out with friends etc. because it is a normal thing IMO; so I guess that should be enough for now :)
 
Bit of badminton. Soccer (5 a side footie in UK). Cycling when weather is better. Travel to see live premiership football as well.
 
Garage Sales, Rugby, Woodworking, Knife-Throwing, and watching "The Universe" on TV.
 
Wow, I have to say, this is the best WOF topic in a long time. For the first time, I'm actually *interested* in people's responses to it.

Cuz honestly, it's usually just asking for our individual (unimportant, often boring) opinion on some (generally trivial) matter.

It's really neat to see so many people who enjoy such interesting pastimes, especially considering the fact that we all have at least one hobby in common; Computers.
