Only a kit one, but even that was pretty cool... Where do you get info/resources?

That's great stuff! I was into model railroading as a kid, too!

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 :-\

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

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

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.

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....

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.

I used to enjoy photograpy, building models, word wood working and gardening. Now, I just hang out in the soapbox. :~
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

Play acoustic guitar, go to the gym and play basketball, play men's softball, go bike riding with my son, do some fun programming with my pet projects.
