Ask HN: Whats your leisure activity away from the keyboard that keeps you sane?
Maybe III like it too. My current addictions are hiking and pack-rafting(for an overview search on youtube).
- mindcrime 15y agoMine vary as interests come and go... for a while, it was a lot of athletic stuff: mountain biking, trail running, powerlifting, brazilian jiu-jitsu, etc. Lately it's been more hardware hacking... (re)learning some basic electronics stuff and hanging out at Splatspace and building stuff. One of my projects is this thing: https://plus.google.com/photos/114301088526097505896/albums/5679443220743590177 https://plus.google.com/photos/114301088526097505896/albums/... which is just an opportunity for me to build something that I'll use for electronics experimenting, while getting my hands dirty and using the band saw, drill press, dremel tool, etc. And then there's this stuff: https://plus.google.com/photos/114301088526097505896/albums/5651251134562190369 https://plus.google.com/photos/114301088526097505896/albums/... https://plus.google.com/photos/114301088526097505896/albums/5650980399687868385 https://plus.google.com/photos/114301088526097505896/albums/...
- PLejeck 15y agoMy vacations from my computer involve me programming with an iphone, every time.
- radagaisus 15y agoJuggling. Chess. Coding.
- jnorthrop 15y agoGuitar. Learning new music and playing old favorites require effort and concentration but it seems like it uses a completely different part of my brain then coding or writing. I can pick up my guitar mentally exhausted then lose myself playing for an hour or two and come out completely refreshed.
- jetti 15y agoCurrently it is fitness related. Weightlifting and I want to get into Muay Thai as well. Come the spring, I would like to take a blacksmithing class but we'll see. Nothing outside of computer science/programming really holds my interest for very long.
