Hobbies "Non-IT" Discussion

between kids and the relentless study, what's a hobby?

I'm one of the lucky ones who actually really enjoys my trade, so all that reading and labbing is a hobby of sorts. Aside from that, sci-fi, video games, old jazz/funk/soul records, drum and bass and when I can haul my fat a$$ off the couch, tennis and golf.

But seriously, between being an adult with two kids and a mortgage and studying, there's not a lot of time for anything else

broke my wrist last October in the "accident". Make difficult driving, had to lean to do much right handed, and tore up my shoulder to boot.

How's your wrist recovery? I'm a little concerned with the tendon issue.

my wrist is fine these days.

I find that sometimes, as a call drifts into managery stuff, I have free time to do a little reading.

My main focus right now is to back of the drinking and get back into the gym. My blog and home lab get some attention from time to time but not as much as I would like. Dosent help that I got Kerbal Space Program last weekend either. First game I have played (outside CoC) since I had kids 7 years ago.

Last night, I messed around with tracking proto-punk rock to stock footage of Vietnam combat and police riots.

Not wanting to start a political or gun debate thread, so I'll just say that I have some strongly-held views that I like to express in both written and visual arts. This is my first foray into actual multimedia. I'll get hit with a cease and desist order or two if any of it goes viral. Because that's what happened last time I went viral, about 16-17 years ago. Cease and desist orders, by the way, are often delivered by attorneys with very good senses of humor and pleasant tones. They're not always a bad thing, cease and desist orders...
