Astrophotography. 
Here's a recent picture I shot of the Dumbbell nebula (M27). I'm still learning, however, so it could be better.
Telescope: Orion EON 80ED APO refractor with Orion Sirius Go-To mount
Camera: Canon Digital Rebel XT, used at Prime Focus
Image: Five 60-second exposures, aligned, stacked and edited in PhotoShop

I used to collect obsolete computers, until I ran out of space to put them.
I've been getting more into biking lately, but I'm lacking a good bike. (I have a mountain bike from Wal-Mart, but I'd like one of those bikes with the skinny tires and whatnot that are more suited for roads.)

I cave dive for fun. There is nothing more relaxing than swimming through a hole 6 feet across and popping out into a room 40 feet high and 70 feet wide with a beautiful clay floor and dark limestone walls, 100 feet deep and 1400 feet in to a cave system...
(Ok, so the picture is actually in the Gallery at the Devil's cave system at Ginnie Springs in High Springs, Fl, in a room about 60 feet deep near the entrance, hence the grim reaper/stay out if not cave trained sign)

I'm lucky that my job is also a hobby. Aside from work though, I enjoy reading, playing guitar, video games, film, web technologies, cooking, and of course spending time with my girlfriend, doggie, friends, and family.
I used to be really athletic and active, but with work and my interests (almost all of which involve sitting and looking at a screen of some sort), I'm very out of shape. I'm not overweight - in fact I'm probably underweight - but only because I'm lucky to have a fast metabolism. I'm not healthy, and I don't like it.
I'm wanting to get back into "fighting" shape. I want to do some cardio stuff, and hit the weights like I used to. Hopefully I can make it a priority, and get this thing turned around!
