Hobbies

[BacioiuC]

*finnaly i can post somewhere*
Besides coding i enjoy taking long walks in nature, playing my guitar, taking photos or doing some game design documents. Also sleeping is one of my favorite hobbies.

I'm getting more and more into electronics and starting to read up on robotics. I've been into computers since I got my TRS-80 when I was 4 (I'm 28 now).

I also work on cars:




I had a Fiero that I was rebuilding, but I was starting to sink waaaay too much money into it; so I got rid of it and modified my daily driver. I just have a rear brace to add onto the Echo and I'm done until I get the itch again.

I use to looove anime. I've got all the Dragonball series on DVD. I've got a Dragonball Z hat, shirt (with Trunks on the back), and shot glasses. I miss the days of watching Tenshi and Gundam Wing (although I'm watching Mobile Suit Gundam 00 now, when I get the time) and a couple of others. Yay for my cable provider's "Adult Swim on Demand" channel.

I know there's been a nice long thread about hobbies before, which is why I haven't posted here yet. I spend most of my non-computer related spare time with my family, playing with the kids and such. I also am in to homebrew beer and wine making. I'm remodeling my house, slowly but surely, and have recently started drafting plans for new cabinets in the bathrooms and kitchen, which I'll build myself. This spring I plan on starting a small herb garden, and maybe even planting some of my own hops.

I also enjoy working on cars (especially old American muscle cars, but I'll settle for working on my 2001 Subraru Impreza 2.5RS or my brother's '88 Camaro IROC), biking, fishing, and hunting. Occasionally I'll read sci-fi and fantasy books, and I like watching action and horror movies on the rare occasion that I get plenty of time for that.

There's more I'm sure but my hunger is making it hard to think.

Well aside from osdev, I'm programming a distributed programming language/general execution environment on which I plan to run an artificial Hierarchical temporal network as described in Jeff Hawkin's On Intelligence. I'm also starting an e-commerce website and helping out my school band get online too.

I've played piano since I was 5

At school, I take part in the marching band. I take part in the band for our drama musicals. I would be involved in the computer club but they just play games and they're questions about computers kinda annoy me.

I play piano the third Sunday of every month to people who are developmentally disabled (at a religious service).

I also take part in Campus Ministry at my school.

That's about it

Give us a sample!

Most of my time goes towards my girlfriend. My free time I spend working on various things, my latest being my 3D game framework.

Sure. From a few recent 'translation challenges' on the ZBB forum:

Most of my time goes towards my girlfriend.

Try having a family. The time she was just your girlfriend really is the time of time abundance :).
