    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 :-\

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

        What do people here like to do when they are away from work? Hmm . . . when i'm not working over time :sigh: & not coding for fun, and not fixing friends or friends of friends devices, I train for my ATPL (Transport Pilots License), play the wii, hike & bike, oh and having a few cold beers! :)

          Rock climbing is my main passion at the moment. I rediscovered it after a 15 year break and can't keep myself away from it now. I juggle a bit although not as much as I used to due to the club I used to go to closing. Getting outdoors is the big thing though. I can't stand being stuck indoors for more minutes than I have to. I'll run, play tennis, cycle etc any excuse for fresh air. Russell

              When I'm away from work I Design and code and play with algorithms...you know, fun stuff. At work all I do is go to meetings, write plans and procedures and give status on why I haven't finished coding.

                    Sing in a 100-member classical music group, support website of same, work out, Big Bros and Sisters & Habitat for Humanity - volunteer work, sell real estate part time, keep up with music, try to keep the wife happy in a variety of ways (priority 1) .

                      Woodworking - I like the tactile nature of it as a counterpoint to the abstract nature of programming. Especially turning, which has a very Zen like feel when you're watching the waste spiral off in a simultaneous act of creation and destruction. I also like spending time with my 4 kids (3 girls and 1 boy all 5 and under). I play board/strategy games (Race for the Galaxy, Puerto Rico, Power Grid, Cutthroat Caverns, Roborally, etc), RPGs, and every once in a while a racing game on a PS2 or PC.

                            Playing bass guitar (and some electric/acoustic guitar), saxophone (alto), modding/playing videogames, running, reading (just about anything)...and of course staring blankly thinking of algorithms while my family wonders what I'm doing :laugh:.

                                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.
