Do you have a hobby?

[CRXican]

not that I think about it, not really

 

[irishScott]

Well I've got some that are unfortunately on hold due to various restrictions:
Krav Maga
Ice Skating
Ballroom Dancing
Cooking
Amateur Astronomy

As for the active ones:
Camping/Hiking/Caving/Rafting
Neffing
Upgrading simple everyday mechanical systems with overly complicated but extremely cool electrical ones.
Learning Python
Gaming (board and PC)
Pick-up Frisbee/Soccer

I'd put jogging, but that's not really a "hobby" as I don't plan on entering any races or anything.

gaming
golf

That's about it. I don't have enough money for anything else.

I have a couple of hobbies that I had and or want to start. One is building my MAME cabinet (arcade emulation). The other is starting a serious vintage console and game collection.

Been there done that on the second part, never finished the first part. I just do it on my 42" with an XBOX 360 controller now.
Let me know if you need help, I have some classic gaming stuff left over. I've sold most of it over the last three years.

 

[bobdole369]

ham radio, electronics, photography, oil painting. Is audiophilia a hobby? Car audio definitely.

Oh and hurricane watching / quasi-wannabe storm chasing.

I have a hobby of starting a hobby, spending a lot of money on it, and then moving onto another one.

Let me know what you come across. I am very interested in this as well.

I used to be into telescopes and I'm trying to get back in. In a couple months I'm hoping to buy one.

My suggestion: if you are okay with something bulky and heavy, an 8" Dob reflector is absolutely the best you can get for the money. Under $400 for a new one, and it gives you an 8" aperture (more aperture = more light gathering power = THE most important aspect of any telescope).

Relevant links:

telescope.com - Orion telescopes (pretty good deals on new scopes for beginners)
astromart.com - Classified ads for used telescopes and also forums for advice
cloudynights.com - Telescope reviews, articles, and more forums

I used to own an 8" Dob that I bought from Orion but the bulk made me think twice about using it some nights. It weighed about 50 lbs. I'm debating whether I want to get a new one and just put up with it, or if I want to get something smaller, lighter, and easier to transport (at the cost of aperture).

You're missing the Ur Quan Masters. It's free now.

And how'd you get the original System Shock to run? I tried DOSBox but the audio was out of sync and the game itself was kinda laggy. Maybe it's just my laptop, but I've got a core duo T2500 (2 Ghz) so one would think it'd be able to handle it. *shrug*

 

[Leros]

I do a some hobby EE stuff. Does that count?

Not too many I'm good at.

Running, poker, casino life, classic cars, schooling, game modding, hiking, investments, weight lifting, travelling or reading about places I'll likely never be able to visit.....

I use to play chess as well. I was a good bull rusher and ran a good gambit, but I haven't played in the longest time.
