Alright, my hobbies are:

- dancing (actually my biggest hobby)
- biking (my main transportation)
- reading (about a book or two a month)
- cooking (i love cooking along with eating, though i don't have the time to cook everyday)
- collecting old consoles/games
- programming (my job is also my hobby)
- physics (like others read math or history books i read physics books )
- learning (i really enjoy learning stuff)

-I like music a lot. I make chiptunes with my Gameboys and soon with my Commodore 64. I use stuff like FastTracker 3 and other Trackers too.
-Linux. I just dove in with a copy of Slackware 12.
-Programming, I guess it kind of goes with Linux though. I'm starting off with Python, probably will move on to C++ later. Bash scripting too.
-Computers, hardware to be more specific. I'm the guy that everyone calls when a Hard drive shits out or a PSU explodes.
-Books. Though they're somewhat limited to computers I do enjoy a subgenre of Horror, Zombie books are my favorite. I just read World War Z.
-Skimboarding. Sure the Florida waves suck, but we manage to have fun.

-Reading (Fantasy, Science Fiction, Non-Fiction, Books about Books, History. I love to read anything except Chick Lit and Thrillers.)
-Exercise (NordicTrak)
-History (I study history quite a bit and is one of my passions.)
-Simple Living (I've really been getting into the Simple Living lifestyle going so far as to sell off a number of my possessions and living a less cluttered life, and only spending on things I find very important. It's about being thoughtful about what we consume.)
-Cooking (I've begun to get better, my grandfather's motto was always if you can read and you can cook. Which I've found to be true. As long as you follow the recipes, and are patient letting things cook for the right amount of time they tend to turn out at the least edible.)

Reading - I love anything that has a good story or keeps me entertained. Right now I am in the middle of Pilgrims Progress, Diary of Freddrick Douglass, and have some Sherlock Holmes dashed inbetween.
Writing - Ive been working on a couple storys/books for the past few years on and off. Eventually I will get them edited and corrected enough that I feel alright sharing them with others. Unlike my works here, both on the forum or frontpage, they are actually good. Ok, ok, would you believe decent?
Painting - While I have not hit canvas in sometime, but I do paint figurines. Both for games and for decoration. I use a mix of all acrylic and oil paints at my disposal, though it has come down to Apple Barrel on more than one occasion.
Event Planning - While it has been my profession in the past, I do enjoy making things happen with zero prep and low capital (or vice versa). Most recently was when a group of my friends who meet Sunday nights held a picnic on my uncles front lawn. Usually they host us and have not the past few months due to prepping for my cousins wedding. They were tickled and very glad to have us. Granted I also use this on a larger scale for Momocon every spring. We are like Jurassic Park, all the problems of the big guys and no money to fix them - yet we still put on a decent show. Granted some people sit around and listen to me talk about arcade games for a couple hours for reasons I do not understand.
Movies - Big fan of Robert Redford and Sean Connery, I have owned almost everyone of their films more than once. Also due to the nature of previous employment I have met many famous people and that only grows as I get to meet Bruce Campbell in a couple weeks. Now I just have to find a red gas powered chainsaw that he can sign the blade of...
