I have over 1500 different Henderson cards (1679 different exist)...he is the only player I have collected exclusively since 1987. The only card I have doubles of is his 1980 Topps RC, to which I own 65+ of those.

Procrastinating.

I've recently taken up woodworking in a semi-serious way. I've built a nice big bookcase (its twin is ready to assemble; I guess I need to make myself one of those round toits), and some mahagony bookends so far. It's soothing because it takes concentration, but not so much deep thought that it's hard to concentrate on.

This is in addition to photography and a few other hobbys. I STILL want Canon to put out a digital back for the A1 series cameras!

Shaddim · Mar 18, 2005, 11:01 PM

I have too damned many hobbies.

I need to trim back a few... they're starting to turn into a vocation.

iREZ · Mar 18, 2005, 11:09 PM

I took up sex as my hobby

, not too shabby once you get into the swing of things.

Same here.

I have narrowed it down to brewing beer, wood-working, and photography.

I still oil paint occasionally though. I gave up on travel. Having a 1 year old, (and another on the way), has a neat way of nipping that one from the list.

DeathToWindows · Mar 18, 2005, 11:53 PM

Photography... mostly

DeathMan · Mar 19, 2005, 12:26 AM

I like to play guitar (I'd like to get a band going), I used to rock climb a lot, but haven't too much since we had kids. I'm training for a triathlon, so I'm swimming and biking a lot. Need to get running, though. My miles are going to be like 10 minutes a piece if I don't get started. Ugh.

Drawing/painting was the thing for quite a while, but it required a little too much patience for me right now. I'm also trying to Develop a business on the side, and that seems to take up most of my free time.

phantomdragonz · Mar 19, 2005, 12:28 AM

I am into offroading and throwing money at my jeep... but the places i can go and the things I can see up in the mountains makes it way worth while.

I also have a camera, but I dont take it out as much as I should... too busy building the jeep...

Not really a hobby, but exercising is a good way to pass the time.

The best thing about it is the more you do it, the better you look.

Shaddim · Mar 19, 2005, 12:43 AM

Well... home audio/theater, woodworking, belong to 3 occult organizations, hunting (though I rarely have the time anymore), gardening, hiking, camping, guitar, piano, and church. Also, I collect antiquarian books (most are religion or occult related), original art, and silver/golden age comics (which I've done since I was 12). Plus, I like to play computer games from time to time.

Combine that with my work; teaching, writing, and translation. I'm lucky I only sleep 4 hrs /night.

Edit: oh yeah, I also collect firearms.

Mr Kino · Mar 19, 2005, 02:46 AM

I used to collect Hot Wheels, that was amusing for a while.

Sex isn't my hobby, it's the fundamental driving force of my very existence!
My hobby is collecting pr0n.

King Bob On The Cob · Mar 19, 2005, 03:53 AM

Is posting at macnn a hobby, an addiction, or just a sad, sad way to pass time?

spiky_dog · Mar 19, 2005, 11:55 AM

my hobbies are photography, tinkering with and occasionally riding my bikes, and composing music. non-hobby-but-things-i-do: reading (jitterbug perfume was my last), and playing and performing music (community orchestra mainly these days). i wonder if i could combine all of them...

Zimphire · Mar 19, 2005, 11:58 AM

I play guitar, draw, paint, mess around with cars sometimes, collects codpieces.

Mafia · Mar 19, 2005, 12:07 PM

budster101 · Mar 19, 2005, 12:09 PM

He means codpieces.

dlefebvre · Mar 19, 2005, 02:42 PM

I know, it's a mental block. I can't think of cod pieces. See! I can't even write it in one word.

Have a feeling This hobby would stink! But, you're cats
would probably find it interesting.

Zimph; For real? All kidding aside....like, part of the outfits
in Braveheart or something? Pics?

RiSE · Mar 19, 2005, 03:13 PM

movies, skateboarding.

Randman · Mar 19, 2005, 03:18 PM

When I was a kid, I collected comic book religiously. I got back into about the time of the Death of Superman and got a decent collection. The past year or so, I've just gotten a handful here and there to read as it seems the level of writing has really sunk to new lows.
Since that hobby is waning, I guess Macs (aside from my professional usage) is a big hobby.

saddino · Mar 19, 2005, 06:32 PM

Playing in a band.

galarneau · 06:52 PM

I used to race bicyles and do triathlons. I even did an Ironman back in 1999.

Then I got fat in medical school, and now my main hobbies are sleeping and making excuses for not working out.

charon · 07:41 PM

I collect human heads.

edit: and then I masterbate on them.

charon · Mar 19, 2005, 07:49 PM

WTF does "How you have a hobby?" mean. Is that supposed to be "Do you have a hobby?" or something? Learn to speak english. Thats sounds like something Jackie Chan would say.

hehe, funny asians..

Not everyone here has English as their primary language. I don't know the post starter's history, but I have learned to cut people a little slack around here.

However, as a noob with 18 posts under your belt you should play a little nicer to someone with almost 3,000 posts here. Respect your elders kid.

I hear few in Minnesota speak English as their native language.

Also, his tv just blow up!

Not everyone in Minnesota speaks English. A friend of mine who speaks fluent Russian is a dental hygienist at an office that caters to Russians that don't speak English very well. There is a very large immigrant population in Minneapolis that speaks very very little English.

I am sorry about his TV.

Balneum · Mar 20, 2005, 12:17 AM

Bowling is my main hobby, second comes computers... ,-) Darts, movies, marathon, general sports, electronics and food.

OB1 · Mar 20, 2005, 10:36 AM

Skateboarding and trying to make music.

I always love your vids, good camera control.

bubblewrap · Mar 20, 2005, 01:05 PM

Actually my friend Brian was the cameraman. I suck with the camera.
I gotta get out and make more RC videos...
