Going out: my girlfriend and I enjoy going to concerts/comedy shows a few times a month. Reading: everything, from teen fiction to Feynman lectures. That's definitely my most expensive hobby. I collect a lot of books :o Maintaining topical side blogs: currently www.ui-animations.com, more in the works. Research (preparing my return to academia): mostly reading papers from conferences, although working on related side projects as well, some paper drafts in the works. Games: MTG, board games, video games. Sport: indoors rock climbing, I try to drive down to Santa Cruz to surf every weekend, longboard when I need to get around town Hackerspace: I've been going to Noisebridge in SF recently. If you avoid the tribal drama, lots of good stuff. Video watching: lectures and conference talks on youtube, the standard movies and shows. Software dev: small indie games/iOS apps/web side projects, fucking around with new hardware (excited about the Oculus rift)/electronics/etc. I also listen to a lot of music/radio (esp. while working/commuting), but that's more of a "passive" hobby. Stuff I'd like to start doing (or do more of): hiking, cooking, gardening, running.
