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.

Native American flute ? Cool.
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...

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.

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.

Actually, I AM writing a novel. And I tinker with my arcade machine (MAME) and Pinball (Dr. Who) Play with the PS3 occasionally (when the boy lets me) and DS Lite (ditto) Develop software for myself, friends, fun and profit (little) Play Half Life 2 DeathMatch online (REALLY BADLY) And look after the animals (2 x dog, 3x Alpacas, 1 x fish) And browse the job sites looking for a job with less hours for more pay.
