im a nerd so I write code for fun after i get home from writing code @ work.

my time is currently (over)consumed by writing an Android App & writing a working on a new guitar/bass related website.

otherwise i watch a ton of movies. Mostly horror movies. I cant get enough :)
 
Few of my other hobbies are,

R/C Airplanes and Cars.
Computer Repair, Upgrades, and Custom Builds
Waterfowl Hunting and general firearm related sports
(Skeet, Trap, Targets ect.)

Great thread by the way! :)
 
Great thread - a good insight.

I play golf as often as I can and drink loads of red wine with my lovely wife. We both do our fair share of surfing (very much the computer variety), but Mrs OLPlayer is much better than I am as she has no fear! Most of my "spare" time is taken up with playing guitar and listening to music. Oh and I also enjoy watching football and used to play in a team for work. Used to be quite a good darts and snooker player but not many opportunities these days.:p
 
Other hobbies???? I guess you could count my day job......:p

Seriously, just being a part of whatever my kids are doing is entertaining at this point. One day I'll get back to fine cooking and crafts - I'm having too muc fun driving to kid sporting events for now!

+1. Suspiria is the best. Love that flick. Did you see MBV in 3D? It was a blast. The original was much better, but the 3D looked amazing.

I haven't gone skeet or trap shooting yet, but it's only a matter of time! I love doing the outdoors thing, be it hunting, fishing, going to the range, or sitting on the beach... I'm also very big into muscle/classic cars, and have a stroked '74 Dart Sport that runs 12s and a '68 383 4spd Barracuda that will hopefully be on the road this summer. The '68 has been a 5 year project!
 
Golf
SCUBA
Skiing
Karate (I hold a 2nd degree blackbelt in Kenpo but am currently studying Shotokan)
Music!!!!!
 
Reading, biking, hockey, cooking, shooting/hunting.

Well believe it or not my job is also my main hobby, and it's something I still enjoy doing day in day out, but if we talk outside work time I enjoy riding motorbikes and in particular Supermotard type of bikes which are a cross between offroad bikes and street bikes with slick tyres something like this:

I fly in a virtual RAF squadron flying mostly 1940's Hurricanes and Spitfires in the air combat simulator IL2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles.I have done this sort of thing 10years and 5 with these guys.

Welcome to TangmerePilots.com

it sure gets the adrenalin going when theres 12 of us flying along over Kent on a 1940 summers eve,chatting away on comms when someone shouts "Messerchmitts!" and after a frantic 10 minute dogfight I've bailed out and find myself hanging on my parachute:D

Apparently, based on what I posted in the "What have you let go" thread, selling EBMM's is my hobby!

Video games are my other hobby. My XBox 360 is almost my best friend in the world. Gears of War 2, Halo 3, NHL 09, Mercenaries 2.

I also occasionally ski, mountain and road bike, I'm taking up golf.

Cool Thread! I have such little free time between work and my family. Other than music, my only other true hobbie is fly fishing. I've been seriously considering buying a kayak this summer and getting into that too. It's a day dreaming hobby :)

you just reminded about kayaking. That is one of my favorite outdoor activities.
