Your other hobbies. Do you have any you want to let out?
« on: May 10, 2008, 02:53:35 PM »
I hope this is allowd, i'd like to find out (not for any research, more for curiosity) as I posted i'l go first...

I'm into Hi-Fi, Modern Coputing, Retro Consoles/Games, Cars (many sorts like R/C, models, kits, Slot Cars).

Feel free to elaborate more but it's a hot day here today and I can't be botherd right now! :lol:
Also any questions about my other intrestes i'l answer.

[EDIT] Another side intrest of mine was art (digital and sketches) although this has been slightly abandoned in the last few years but maybe one day...

Computing - Obviously :-D

Retro Gaming - Computer and console. I have a collection of over 150 NES and SNES game carts. And a few others. Sega, Atari, C64, N64...

Music - played guitar since 1987, studied at a music school for 2 years '91/'92 then worked around the city (Perth) in bands for 10 years before quitting to follow computer studies. It's just a hobby now.
 
Art - I like to sketch. Pencil mostly. I'm no damn good at it, but I enjoy it.

I'm sure there's more, but these are the main ones I guess. On any given day, one may be more prominent than the others.

Retro Gaming (Amiga, SNES, NES, MAME, u get the idea)

New Gaming (PC, PSP, NDS, PS2, PS3, Wii etc..)

Cars (well this is where it got expensive, and where I got my alias, lets see if any can figure that one out)

Renovating (well all my friends always need something done, and I tend to spend money on tools so I guess this could be a hobby)

In addition to an addiction to old games and computers, I've got a thing for motorcycles ('03 BMW 1200 CLC) and music.  I've been playing bass and guitar since 1966.

I was a co-driver in a rally car for about 20 rallies.  Did pretty good.  Haven't read a pace note in 2 years, but I might pick it up again one day.  I also drive motocross every now and then, and wheelie my supermotard whenever I can.

I'm also very interested in electronics, and I try to build things from microcontrollers and whatever I find laying around.

I read a lot, just finished Peter F Hamilton's Judus Unchained in fact.

I also write a fair bit too.

Blessed Be,

Besides computing I am heavily into music (both listening to it and making my own) and more recently I have got quite into politics.

Some of the PMQs videos on Youtube are priceless comedy, especially William Hague!
Religion is for people who believe in hell.
Spirituality is for people who have been there.
