What do people here like to do when they are away from work? I like working with my hands, enjoying gadgetry, and traveling.

As a kid, my dad and I were really into model railroading, and I have been trying to get back into it. I have toyed with the idea of having computer control signals, etc, and really geek it out :-\

I'm working on a robot right now! This is cool. Have you built any robots yet?

Don't take any wooden nickels.

If they come to America, I would enjoy seeing the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. They are from NZ.

Unless we're talking about different YYYs[^], I think they are from NY. They came to Mexico in 2006 IIRC, and was a nice concert.

Christian Graus No longer a Microsoft MVP, but still happy to answer your questions.
There's a line there, but I'm letting it slide under the kid sister rule...

That's really cool. Mostly had been HO scale, been thinking about O scale now, and maybe G scale in the yard. My dad-in-law is a part of the Northeast Ohio Steamers and the 1-inch gauge they use looks really cool. Only if I had more yard :-\

My work is in my head; I can't get away from it. Only a Pan-Galactic GargleBlaster helps, if temporarily. :sigh:

I once read they came from New Zealand. Wikipedia isn't always right.

He, I'm really bad with hand working, I failed "Drawing" at Kindergarden 1. ;P I like reading a lot, from math and technical things to sci-fi and fantasy. I like romanticism and the 98 generation. I don't like modernism though, and sometimes (if I'm in the mood) I could enjoy vanguardism. Also, I like langagues. And of course, video games (especially RPGs and Strategy).

Mostly from the web. I put together quite a list of bookmarks from years of searching for information and parts. There's also a fun magazine called Robot http://www.botmag.com[^] And don't forget the venerable Nuts and Volts magazine: http://www.nutsvolts.com[^] If you're looking for something specific, maybe I can help you out. Feel free to email me any time....

Are you into R/C? I was into R/C planes for a while until it became too expensive!

slang terms not withstanding... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_flute[^] I play a double flute, two flutes in one, one flute is a single note compliment to the other flute which is pentatonic in scale. You can play one, or both simultaneously. I have about a dozen others now, but that is my favorite as it was made just for me.
