    Hmm...I'm kind of an odd guy, so I doubt anyone shares any of my hobbies.

    But they are: music, physics, math, women, cooking, art, books, writing, thinking, (heterodox) economics, beer, file systems and operating systems , history, sociology, and generally reading everything I can get my hands on.

    As with many others I am a husband and father. When I do get a little free time I love to ride my motorcycle (Honda VTX1800).
    Work... Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints...

    Some of my favorites are:

    Running - really helps to relieve the stress of wanting to reach across my desk and choke the crap out of whoever is sitting there asking me to unlock their account because they put their password in wrong 3 times for like the 100 millionth time.

    Camping - because sometimes it's nice to imagine how much simpler life would be without a computer and telephone. Unfortunately, right about the time I finally get a feeling of contentment while pondering this, my Blackberry will go nutso saying that the network is down...lol

    Astronomy - lots of stuff to look at there, and it seems that I find something new about a familiar object everytime I look through the eyepiece.

    Shooting - Guns, things that make really loud noises...need I say more.

    Paintball - Nothing like going in the woods and unloading 100 paintballs at 300 feet per second on your boss!

    Reading - I enjoy this alot, and it's one of those things you can do virtually anywhere at anytime.

    Volunteer Work - Yes, this can be a hobby. Not only does it give you something to do with your free time, but it can also be very enriching and rewarding. Volunteer at a soup kitchen, shelter, school, hospital, or church. You'd be amazed at how a little of your time can make such a huge difference to someone else.

    I used to run and skateboard about two years ago, when I was 16, but I've fallen out of those activities. I just recently picked up martial arts (specifically Wing Chun), though, and I love it.

    [edit]
    And I just realized I only have one post. I've been coming here for 5-odd years, though (recently just to lurk). I just forgot my old username and the email address I used with it.

    When ever i get a spare minute or hour i usually head down to the local basketball courts and shoot some hoops.

    I've always had been curious about archary for the last few years, and i finally went out and learnt how to shoot an arrow the other day. It takes some patience but it's defiantly worth a try at least once..

    What are using for archery? I shoot compound bows when I hunt and the difference between a compound and a recurve is amazing. Don't get me started about the compound crossbow I have!!!

    I have a lot of hobbies but the only two that I have time for on a regular basis are reading and disc golf http://www.pdga.com/ for 10 bucks I can get a six pack and play 18 holes after work.
