Besides cars, what other hobbies/interests do you have?

[SilverStone05]

Audiophile/Videophile - I'm constantly changing my gear. My current obsession is with building my home theater and I'm buying/selling units like crazy. (Just bought a new tv and hd-dvd player yesterday :biggrin: )

Financial Markets - I keep an eye on the markets and love to trade. It stays fun as long as you end up making money. There is so much to read, this hobby could consume you.

Cooking - I cook a wide variety of foods, from Italian to Indian to Chinese to American.

Working out. I'm not nearly as big as I used to be, but I try to keep up my figure hitting the gym everyday. These days its primarily cardio to make up for the previous listed hobby. :wink:

Oh, and Robr I used to have a Roland TD-7 as well.

Cool, which Samsung is that? I just got the FPT5884.

I'm ticked, though cause my HD DVD player is supposed to upconvert regular dvds to 1080p, but they still look like crap on the Samsung. My Sony ES DVD player that upconverts to 720p is the same thing. Is this your experience with regular DVD's on the TV?

Only thing that looks good are the HD-DVD's.

Hi

I have not been doing much this year as I fell of a snowmobile in april, but last year I did a lot of racing with my trackbike. Here are some pictures of it with me riding it.

It's the HPT4264 plasma. I never got the chance to watch any DVD on it yet... mostly just sports on HD channels, which look awesome.

Very nice! Do is a DH bike or more for trials/north shore style?




I do lots of trail running every evening. I have been running at night recently, very fun using a headlamp. Usually do 10k with Tuesdays being my interval days in which I do three 7min intervals at 90% intensity. And long days on the weekends, usually 13+ miles on Saturdays and Sundays are usually 9miles.

I also love to Orienteering (cross country running using a map and compass to find points in unfamiliar terrain). I have been on the USA Intercollegiate team the last two times. I have competed in Sweden, Scotland, The Slovakia Republic, and the Czech Republic

I also Mountain Bike, Tae-Kwon-Do, Road Bike, water ski, wakeboarding, and love to hang out with my wife and friends.
