Whenever I have one, they seem to take most of my time and money, so maybe.

Thank you!
The cool thing is that this has sponsored my 3 Elektron machines

Most of my spare time has been spent with my bands, rehearsing and touring. Fortunately it is also a hobby!

Travelling is the ultimate hobby/goal, other than that the usual: girlfriend, exercise, movies, (comic)books and videogames and maintaining friendships.

a girlfriend is a job for me, they end up paying all my bills,

there is a reason why a guy who is 30, me, who has worked less than a year his whole life,

has the cash for a few elektron boxes, tempests, macs, tc elec gear, and i live in my own house alone, its great…

my wife

cooking is starting to be a big one for me.

and…reading is the only other hobby i can think of.

i guess it’s music-related, but i do like to go out dancing.

if i had any money, travel would be up there.

Growing food, cooking food.

We should all do some kind of mixed media collaboration.

For sure! At Elektron Festival 2015.

…can’t really separate hobbies/obsessions from the daily work…they kind of melted together in the past few years (or at least i’m trying to get them to go in one direction): programming, music and electronics… (some others just simply faded slowly away)
trying to get back on track with sports as well (sitting on a chair for most of the day doesn’t really help ) … other than this: food!

Nice! I trained BJJ for a while, thought it was great fun, but had to quit due to new job and work hours. How long have you been doing it? :)[/quote]
Ive been training submission wrestling, MMA & BJJ for about 6-7 years. I’m blue going on purple standard but I don’t train enough GI or enter enough comps to get the purple belt (Which annoys my main coach :P).

Nice, you’re pretty good then! I always got trashed by the blue-belts at my club, not to mention the purple guys, they were basically just relaxing trying out how little effort they had to put in in order to submit me, haha.
