Any interesting hobbies other than politics and the Amiga?

I like reading, but not generally fiction, mainly science and history books. I like writing too, and I'm planning to be a professional author one day. I'm fascinated by anything scientific. I don't have many interests beyond that, apart from chatting to friends on IRC and subjecting the unwary denizens of Amiga.org to my opinions. Computing apart from that isn't fun any more.

Wayne, I'd stick with the aircraft hobby if you can afford it. If you enjoy it, all the better, but it will get you places, and I don't just mean physically. Things like that are always good on a resumé, and who knows, you could launch it into a career. Certainly it's more eyecatching than "Uh, I read books."

I've done the motorcycle thing. Crashing on a motorcycle is an eventual "WILL HAPPEN", regardless of who you are, or how careful you are. Motorcycle accidents are 99% the fault of the other idiots on the road, not the rider.

...and the fact that the roads are designed for cars, not bikes. Imagine a drain cover just a little higher or lower than the road surface. Hit this at 30mph on a car, you don't feel it. Hit it at 30mph on a motorbike, and you sure will. It's the little things like that that car drivers don't notice that often cause accidents with motorcyclists.
