Thread: Non computer related hobbies

Hey guys,

As fellow computer geeks, I'm sure just like me, many of your hobbies are computer based.
I enjoy programming and I am also into gaming and music production.

I'm interested to know what non computer based hobbies, if any, our members have!

I personally love fishing. Mainly fresh water sport fishing.. Carp, Catfish, Pike. All catch and release.
Can't beat sitting by a lake on a beautiful summers day.

Do any of you like to fish?

Thought this would be a good opportunity to get to know our members a bit better..

Hey Norm

An 8+ year trip really is some holiday!!

I loved looking through your photos. Some really nice ones there.
I especially like the Western Caribbean Cruise. You obviously sail?

I would love to own a boat one day.

Don't mind a nice round of golf on a nice day. Mind you, living on the coast makes it even more difficult than it already is, compensating for the darned wind!

I used to play golf too. I ended up spending more time looking for balls than actually playing lol

I like to collect human ears.

Norm, I'm jealous of your adventuring!

As for me, I've been pretty into taking pictures (I hesitate to call it "photography"), you can check some out if you feel like it at photos.KevinWorkman.com. This reminds me that I need to update that site!

I've also been getting into riding a bike (bicycle). There are a ton of bike trails around the Washington DC area, and I love exploring those on the weekends.

Other than that, I'm pretty busy starting school, and I'm moving to a new apartment this week, so that takes up a lot of my free time for now.

And of course there's the normal go-to-the-bar-with-friends type stuff!

Nice photos Kevin! Photography is a hobby of mine as well...together with my fixation for hiking and backpacking, its more nature...focused. See my website Also been know to do some fishing every so often.

Wow, those are really awesome. Gives me something to "shoot" for! BAHAHAHA.

Aside from writing computer programs, I also love to cook and bake. it's my favorite past time.

Sadly, lately I don't have enough time for my hobbies Job + Studies = Hobby-breaker ...Waiting for the holiday though

Yeah, school definitely gets in the way of hobbies. But then when you graduate you realize you have all this free time on your hands. Some people fill it with TV and video games, and wonder why they don't feel like they have a fulfilling life. Other people fill it with doing things they love.

I enjoy learning and studying the weather, as it is always changing and always withholds something from you...

I also love to read fantasy books and play fantasy video games. For example, right now I'm re-reading the Inheritance series because the last book just came out (yay!) and I love to play games like Minecraft and The Legend of Zelda.

Finally, I enjoy soccer, though it can be stressful.
