Well, building something is always cool. As far as I'm concerned, I really like electronic, and modding things.
www.instructables.com is a great site for... everything !
Look at the NesRemote I built in my sig.

Take up running.
Get yourself an iPod nano and the Nike + iPod Sport Kit.
You can track your progress, collect and analyze stats, and get healthy at the same time.

Second that suggestion. I started out carving.Then went up to a lathe. Now I turn pens,bottle stoppers,my own fishing lures,jewelery boxes etc..Very rewarding hobby. I'd also suggest some type of physical activity/sport. Whether it's biking,running,weightlifting,martial arts etc..
Whatever you decide to take up,I would suggest a healthy balance between online and offline time..

Third! I turn pens as well and have more projects lined up then I have time to work on.
Or if I might suggest inverted, suborbital, rocket-powered, anti-gravity bungee jumping...
Very obscure Muppets reference...

Tell me about it. 😱
Here's a hobby: Learn.
If you don't know how to make a webpage, try using WordPress or something. If you don't know how to......fix a car, learn. Martial Arts? Learn. Learn an instrument, a language, or any kind of skill.

Golf or guitar.
Golf courses have junior rates that are really cheap, I used to pay $5 a couple years ago and you could get a decent set of used clubs to start with for $300-$500. Plus it takes a lot of time and you'll want to practice and get better because you will suck terrible in the beginning (and its fun when you get good to beat all of the adults who think they're really good).

Start model railroading! Its a great pasttime, your grandkids will love it and so will your children! I personally do S Gauge, but Lionel usually is more common in O Gauge. HO is great for smaller areas. There are lots of places you can buy stuff and it can be as realistic as you want, and prices are pretty good.
Its a timeless hobby.

Wonderful way to help your community.
Great way to keep the body in shape and have fun!
A wonderful pursuit. It's expensive, but worth it.
Great idea. Stars be cool! 😀
Terrible concept IMHO.
If you want to learn the nunchaku, go learn a Martial Art that incorporates the weapons that you are interested in learning.
The WWDB! 🙂
I used to participate in this hobby when I was young and single. Now we have a dearth of dust bunnies.
Great idea.
Nice list. As you say, find something to enjoy.
Cool. Especially if you have space at home where you can do it.
No matter what age, this is always a good one.
Fun hobby. I enjoy RC helicopters. Fun way to relax and have fun.
Always a winner.
There have been so many wonderful suggestions.
To the OP, try a variety. See what you like, then pursue it.

I run immigrants across the boarder using a motorcycle with a side-car. It can be pretty stressful at times with the high-speed chases and all the bullet wounds, but it passes the time. The side car is for easy release for those super sticky situations when its every man for himself.
I second this one. Running by yourself is a great time to thing about things and clear your mind. To have more fun, get a group of friends into running and run together.
