So what is everyones hobby here? I like to get old technology, like my Clie NX70. My other hobby is RC cars. Here is my newest, a Team Losi Mini T:

RC helicopter flying as of about a year ago.

For me it has been a challenge. Harder in many ways to the real ones.
 
well I have been neglecting my hobbies lately, but I should list Photography and playing Call of Duty online.

🙂
 
R/C cars, have a HPI Savage X and a Traxxas 4-Tec 3.3 Nitro. The Traxxas is down right now. Broke the left rear arm. Took a turn a little too fast.

I also collect the following:
Comic Books
Baseball Cards
Spawn Toys
Star Wars Toys
 
Hmm, lets see...

Computers, the hobby side of it for me is tinkering with Linux
RC car/trucks, helis and planes, this also leads to model engineering
Full size classic minis, and to a lesser extend other classic cars
Cycling, MTB and as of 2 days ago road
Guitar, I suck, but thats never stopped me making noises 😀


I don't really collect anything as such, I just have the implements used for the above
 
Reading books, particularly mysteries these days.

Listening to peaceful music, and wandering in the dreams it brings.

Writing fiction stories.

Walking through deep woods.
 
I'm a computer geek, and like to write code from time to time, or tinker with vintage stuff. I read or play basketball at the park. Boy, I'm really boring!

I really need some more hobbies - specifically something involving being outdoors. Perhaps photography?
 
Personally, I used to collect pens, but that kind of boring so I stopped. RC has held me for the past 8 years though!
 
Spending money on gadgets which i think are awesome and use for a couple of weeks but then never use again. Currently I am looking at a psp.
 
Reading - everything except westerns and romance

Swords - fighting and collecting

Model Horses - customizing Breyers and costumes for them

Video Games - lots and lots

Taking apart and repairing electronics

Sleeping - like 10-12 hours a day
 
- Cooking (never liked it before Top Chef, Hell's Kitchen, etc)
- Cars (just bought a '02 SS, new cam goes in this weekend)
- Sports, playing (soccer, volleyball) and watching (baseball, football, hockey)
- Make-up, fashion, clothes
- Investing (mostly work, partial hobby)
- Dancing (just took up a strip aerobics class, abs/thighs now hurt 3 times a week, HA!)
 
RC Helicopters - 2 T-Rex 450's, T-Rex 500, Blade 400, Kyosho Caliber 90
RC Cars - Tamiya TRF415MSXX, TRF416, a TT-01 that I got way carried away with modding it, TRF501X, Team Associated RC10 Factory Team

Video Games - lots of them, around 37 PS3 games & 18 Wii games. Play Ultima Online (member since 1997 *cries*) and now Warhammer Online.

SCCA autocross events, some BMW and Infiniti club events.

Of course when you work 50-60+ hours a week on average you find that time isn't always on your side to play with your toys 😛
 
Astrophotography. 🙂
