So what's everybody's hobbies (besides bikes)

Ok guys, I've seen the "So what's everybody's job" thread pop-up again and again on the forums, so I'm going to attempt to start a new one.

Tell us information about what you do in your spare time when you're not riding or working on your ride, maybe even share some pics of your hobby (if its something shareable). I'll start off.

--------------------------------
I'm into amateur photography. I got into basically after ogling photography competitions and the interesting artistic things people came up with. I own a Canon T3i DSLR and 50-250mm IS/50mm prime/18-55mm kit lenses. I tend toward Macro (pictures of really tiny things) and Astrophotography (night time sky pictures). I'd like to eventually work my way up to a high end telescope to take pictures of celestial objects. I just got a new camera sling bag and I hope to use my new 6R to ride the country side and look for interesting photography subjects.

Some of my images can be found at my flickr account.

Also, I'm into computer programming, although I don't do much of it during my free time lately as I do plenty at work. I mostly do .Net based development, although I've dabbed in C,C++,PHP,C#,VB,Objective C, iPad programming, 3D graphics, physics engines, java, and a lot of other odds and ends.

I would like to get into electronics to do basic mods to my camera (and bike), but so far I'm still reading the "theory" part of intro to electronics books.

Same here for the gym. I also own the cs5 adobe suite... love it... I also used to work on music/editing. Loved to take gaming trailers online and redo the audio =)

lol I never had handicap... had to be below 180 to have handicap in my league... It was a huge league, 32 lanes filled with 5 bowlers per lane, $21/wk, 32 weeks... We finished 3rd and walked out with $1400 + $400 on the last day with the shootout... each... it was nice =]

Dude I wish you lived near me lol... I'd LOVE to take my camera and just go out on the bike looking for nice scenes... I was saying in an earlier post on a different thread that I wished there were roads where I am like Palomar where I could set up camp on the side and take awesome pics...

Photography as well. 4 pretty girls at home to take pictures of (wife + 3 daughters). Camera yet another Canon - the T1i. Loves this camera's clarity at high ISOs.
12 years of amateur Photoshop tinkering, but since getting my iMac, man, I don't need most of my skills anymore.

Digging pixels from low exposure pics + iMac = only need flash for situations where the light's truly difficult to balance. I love photographing without the flash, but still carry the 5 year old 430 around for some shots.

Non-IS Tamron lens has been a faithful companion.
