I love cars! I used to go on car forums just as much as I do POTN now. But the cost of gas and vehicle modifications is too much money, I just maintain my Impala properly now and leave it stock.

I also love stereos and home theater, but you can only do that so much as a hobby. Perhaps if I ever get into building speakers or something...

Also I love Nat.geographic channels, Discovery, and other stuff like that.

I can't even afford THIS anymore. Amateur radio, cars, Mopar musclecars, just about anything mechanical. If I had the money, I'd be just plain dangerous.

Guns, guns, and guns.

Also, I have a nasty habit of collecting "gadgets" that I find. I also have an unhealthy obsession with Oakley sunglasses.

As for non-collecting-type hobbies, I very much enjoy cooking, playing the irish whistle, lighting things on fire, making things go "boom", etc. A magnifying glass is a boy's best friend.

Hmmm...a hobby other that photography. Really I think it is my only hobby at the moment. Between the money and time I spend between photography and POTN, working, and being a family guy, I don't really have a whole lot of time or money left over. I actually find photography so satisfying that I don't really have a void that needs filling by another hobby at the moment.

I do like to play poker though.
