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

Code 'em by day... Build 'em, clock 'em & Fold 'em by night. :) http://folding.stanford.edu[^] http://www.ocforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=21[^] I'm also a drummer and still play kit from time to time, with extensive time in between. ;)

What is word working? Some kind of spelling championship?
Cheers, Vikram.

sorry "wood working"
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.

I started out with a casual gaming hobby that has pretty much bloomed into a full blown collection (though not obsessive enough to pay hundreds of dollars for "classic" games... yet). Other than that, I read (sci-fi, fantasy, horror), listen to music, and collect some Anime (Japanese animation). :) Flynn

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.

Not slang, pop-culture reference from the teen comedy film American Pie[^] One of the funniest lines in the movie (if you like that kind of humour - & I sometimes do :-D ), delivered by Alyson Hannigan[^], makes reference to a flute.

I practice Kendo. Also, I just started making my own beer. First batch was pretty good.

ahhh, I know the slang, never saw the movie. Heard of it, saw the commercials, that is about it.

I must be getting old :sigh: , didn't know it was slang until I googled it. That was probably what was originally meant, but hey, there's multiple jokes in it if your kid sister's not around!

I know a female artist that can play a quad flute... now that brings up scary images if you didn't know it was a musical instrument.

I've done some N scale about 10 years ago. The layout was okay, but my soldering job was sub-par and the tracks kept snapping on the curves and you can imagine the multitude of derailments that happened :doh:

I still have some of the freight cars with the dings from the wrecks :laugh: One locomotive just wound up being scrapped.

I do quizzes - I am a member of teams in two different quiz leagues and I am currently ranked as the #6 quizzer in the UK and have been as high as #20 in the World rankings in previous years, though I dropped to #48 in this year's world championships. I had an afternoon off this week to film a new BBC quiz show (Battle of the Brains) to be shown later this year and am off to the lovely town of Ludlow this weekend to take part in the monthly Quiz Grand Prix meeting - good company, fiendishly difficult questions, good beer and a nice day out.

Howdy! It's been awhile since I visited. I like to travel, visit local coffee shops and have a read, visit local events (like Seattle Seafair festivals), sleep, and do some networking stuff like BarCamp, MSDN Events, etc. :cool:
