TechSpot - PC Technology News and Analysis

This might sound a bit offensive, but... does anyone here besides me enjoy life outside of the big shiny gray box? You know, THE COMPUTER?

I guess you could be forgiven for thinking I don`t do anything else other than Techspot

However, I do like to do other things as well. I often go out socialising. I also like to walk my dog in the countryside and enjoy the peace and quiet.. I`m also a keen football fan and like to watch my favourite team(Liverpool) play whenever I can.

On the otherhand, I guess I do spend far too much time on the old box lol.

Regards Howard

I'm not always online. I mean, sometimes I program, or make web sites, or play a game, or watch a DVD. Sometimes I do graphic design and sometimes I just chat.
Sometimes I have to fix them, I do CAD, and research and learning.

So ya, not ALL my time is spent on the PC. Um, er, wait.............

Oh poop, I'm going for a walk now.......wait, where's my door? The sun.............blinding........................eyes....................

Vigilante, that **** is funny. You should do comedy..... anyway, has anyone before me started a thread like this? Oh, and howard, thanks for the nice reply...hope more people reply to this thread soon...

Hmm...I do spend to much time in front of the old box, but I do go to my Youth Group, go out with friends, etc, and now I have a job as well. Yay!

@Howard: Liverpool!!! You disappoint me

WOW! Damn guys, that's sad...anyway, do any of you have families, you know, kids?

I actually spend most of my day after school chillin with freinds..playin basketball...and lately ive taken up hydroponics.

Cool....any other interests?

Are you doing a study or something? lol

No kids, nobody, just me and my house and my electronics.

Though when not on the PC, I play music in church, I like to play piano and drums and do recording at home. I do a little weight lifting, and weed pulling in the front yard

Nah, not really. I was just wondering if people at TechSpot did more than use the comp. You know, with the typical depiction of a computer person.... a.K.a A NERD!

^LOL!
When i first got deep in Computers i was like an addict to it, but that was couple years ago, but now i Just sit on the computer whenever i feel like sittin on it,lol,

I pretty much go to work and then come home and waste time on the computer. About 3-4 times a week I run 2 miles on a local walking/running/bike path. I've been doing a lot of geocaching on the weekends recently. So I do things away from the computer, but nothing really super exciting.

I sit in front of a lovely box all day here at work, so I don't do much as much on my computers at home anymore. I am seperated from my wife and I have a fantastic 4 year old son who I love to play with. I also lift weights, play softball, golf, and sometimes basketball. I also enjoy fishing and chillin' by a bonfire with a cold one.

That's horrible! Why seperate from the woman you loved....well, at least y'all do more than stare at a blank screen all day

It isn't by choice, believe me. But, having a range of hobbies and a good group of friends has helped considerably! You never mentioned what your interests outside of the big beige box are.

Oh, sorry...well, mostly cause I barely have any friends, and can't really go any damn where (), I mostly spend my time reading magazines like "Popular Science", or "U.S News". I usually watch tv, Comcast channels 29, 32, 34, 55, and 56 (Comedy Central, TV Land, TVOne, MTV, and VH1). Other than that, I don't really have a life outside the big beige box ()
