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

    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.

      Astronomy, photography and sailing. And very occasionally I manage to do all three together! :)

          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) .

          What does an agnostic, dyslexic, insomniac do? He lies awake at night wondering if there's a dog.

            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.

                                    I crochet, work on my MBA, various crafts, avoid housework, veggie gardening, lawn mowing, sell crafts and consulting on Etsy.com, blog for cash, watch Sci-Fi, swim, camp, and home improvement. After this last round of renovations my assignment is to build a music server for the house with speakers in each room and an arcade machine. I think I want to do a 2 in 1. I try my best not to touch a computer on off-hours though some of my activities require it. There's a laptop permanently perched on the arm of the couch for that reason. I also keep a small bedroom crammed with craft supplies, old computer parts, my desktop computer, books and toys. The toys are mine - my kids are 4-legged and furry - 2 dogs outside and 1 inside cat. When I work on computers for friends I thank my lucky starts I'm not a proctologist! ;P

                                          I pretend I still do all the things I used to do but no longer seem to get around to actually doing anymore. Examples: Reading, Writing, Arithmetic. Knitting, crocheting, drawing, practicing flute, martial arts flavor of the year, cooking, hiking, swimming, standing on my head, creating portals to alternate dimensions using duct tape and a pocket knife. In reality, I watch TV, movies, and YouTube; and play video games (currently Puzzle Pirates) and RPGs with my friends. As of this week, I can no longer put Dr. Who on my list, so maybe I should cross TV off as well. Would you believe I have talking to girls on my list? Yeah, me neither.
