What are your hobbies.

Hi everyone! As far as I know, artists and designers alike have a hobby of some sorts. I would be eager to see your hobby, it might be a collection or something you do in your free time.
by the way, I collect diecast cars.
share yours.
thanks!

You can see in my sig I love photography. My Flickr needs some updating as I recently took new photos in California and I have some good material from there.
Coincidentally, I also collect vehicles - I love sportbikes and I have a ton of little detailed sportbike collectibles.
I also love confusing art. Artists like Salvador Dali and MC Escher, where you aren't exactly sure what you are seeing at first sight. I have some of their books and artwork laying around as well as many other art from friends and family that I use as sources of inspiration.

oh sorry for the repeat, thanks for the info Coy.
thanks also for the replies dennyhorner and smith!
Yup, np. It's actually kind of funny re-reading denny's post because it reminded me how when i was younger (high school age) I wanted to be an architect. I would always go to those parade of home things where builders showcase their nice new homes fully furnished. They used to amaze me.

Awesome! I *was* training to do a team marathon. Sadly some family things happened and I got out of my groove. I want/need to get back into running daily for decent distances.
If you have any useful sites with basic training routines I'd be much appreciative!
Also, I am wondering how different a runners diet is than someone like me who does mostly cardio/weight training. I imagine you intake WAY more carbs than I am used to.

tsmith,
My favorite site is Hal Higdon's. He's run 111 marathons, so he knows what to do. As far as nutrition, everyone has different needs. It takes some experimentation to know exactly what's right for you. I eat a fairly normal diet most of the time and add carbs slowly in the week before an event. Hope this helps get you back into the swing of training.

Thanks! This link is exactly what I was looking for! I am emailing this page to my work email (lol) so I can read it more thoroughly tomorrow and get my mind together.
One question though, do you think any track training is useful or should you stick to street running? I used to run track very competitively in high school and I miss it, I just don't seem to sure I should stress sprint training at all.

I run the track all the time as the surface is more forgiving. Try doing Yasso 800s. That is, over time, work up to ten 800 meter sprints with about 3 minutes recovery in between. The time you average for them will equal your potential marathon time in hours and minutes. For example, if you run them in 3 minutes 45 seconds, that would translate to 3 hours 45 minutes for a marathon.

Well, I've got too many... Infact I sometimes have to stop following some of them, and it's really painful.
Graphic, at first. Logo design is a real passion.
Music while doing -everything- I listen to music almost 50% of my day. Makes everything I don't like more enjoyable.
Reading books. Watching movies, especially thriller and strange ones like american beauty, seven, the game.
Enjoying GOOD company with interesting people.
Discussing in forums. I like competition also. You can learn many things.
