What are your (non-hn-related) hobbies?
silencio: Knitting and crocheting and everything fiber-arts related. I love it because it seems tedious or stupid to a lot of people who don't know how to knit, but I get a lot of satisfaction out of creating fun things for my friends and family and myself (see http://a3.twimg.com/profile_images/432735303/Photo_on_2009-0... for one ;) ) and I also enjoy using my tech background to convince people on Ravelry (a super big social networking site for knitters etc.) that knitting and designing patterns can be a lot like coding (cause some of them are super intimidated by tech, bah).I also loooooove playing the piano. And making ice cream from scratch, for the interesting combinations and flavors you can make. And like a lot of other HNers are mentioning, learning foreign languages, even though I don't necessarily get a chance to practice speaking them much :( Snowboarding too, despite living in sunny LA. I wish I could get started with indoor rock climbing here as well, but I haven't really found anywhere good for that near where I live.
