My hobbies are in a state of constant flux - like the LEGO cycle of
dark ages and activity, I go through a similar cycle with other
hobbies/interests. But some of those are:
* Commodore 8-bit computers (I got my first - a VIC-20 - when I was
10, and my first LEGO dark age happened in my early teens as I got
more into computers... but I never sold off my childhood bricks)
(currently in a Commodore dark age; they're in storage)
* Al Stewart (his 15 minutes were in the 1970's with "Year of the Cat"
and "Time Passages", but he's still making CD's and touring)
* Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin novels (I just recently started
re-reading the series), about a British Navy captain's life during
the Napoleonic Wars.
* Other books: science fiction (currently in a bit of a dark age
there), fantasy (just discovered it recently), and a variety of
other genres as well.
* Writing: poetry, science fiction, literary fiction (currently in
dark age mode)
* Sailing (dark age)
Information about these and other interests can be found on my web
pages (see below)...

| (...) I'm down to my last 60 pages in the last book. What a great series - it had to be for me to read all 20 books! (...) Left off my Dark Ages hobbies (sailing and radio-control car racing come to mind). And my passion for auto racing. Bruce (23 years ago, 15-Mar-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

| (...) One of the first PCs I used was a Commodore PET. (...) I always lump F&SF, because while most books can be slotted into one or the other, there are definitely books which really belong in between. Of course really almost all SF is fantasy. (...)
