I walk at least an hour every day.
I collect Andrew Lloyd Webber cast CDS.
This keeps me busy on the Internet, in
NYC, spends my money, exposures me to
culture, teaches me foreign languages,
and is a fantastic investment.

Fantasy football and brewing my own beer.
I’ve just started brewing beer as my life has only recently afforded me the time to do so. It’s great fun.
I draw every chance I get, seriously and for fun. When I’m being serious about art, I like to work mainly with pastels, I use colored pencils for fun and usually draw comic book characters I create myself.
I read every day, and I’ll read anything except those cheesy romance novels. Just recently finished Cosmos by Carl Sagan. Great book!
I LOVE baseball. I can’t play for real anymore, but thanks to Playstation’s Triple Play 2001, I can make my own player up and name him after me (of course), so I can still be the best second baseman in the bi-state area, and I can fulfill my childhood dream of playing for the Cardinals! I think I’ll even make the All-Star team this year. Isn’t technology wonderful?
Model railroading. Pretty much exclusively HO scale. The trains aren’t that important to me, though, I’m more into the scenery.
My hobbies are translating, political action, website design, political philosophy, and designing cities. 
Role Playing Games.
Science Fiction Association and Cons.
Reading
Sinking Money into tech and my computers. (And you thought cocaine was expensive?
)
I am trying to get back into minatures painting again, and writing, but currently need motivation. 
Photography. Painting stuff. Photography. Reading. Photography.
I was a professional hobbiest for several years :). Worked in Hobby shops for a total of about 5 years I guess, just quit the last one last saturday (it was a second job just for fun). At age 7 I started doing model rocketry, then moved up to Radio controlled cars… that never really ended. Radio controlled planes, my next venture will be to learn to fly rc helicopters (if I ever have extra money). I used to paint roleplaying miniatures but never played (won best of show once in a competition though! ;)) Oh yeah, I was a herpetoculturalist for 12 years. Computers are interesting me more and more especially since people are now paying me for knowing about them! Umm… thats about it I guess, I dont do much of any of that anymore… it all seems to require money and time… 
Rock Climbing, Painting, Drawing, Bouldering, Capoeira, Sword Collecting, and Loving 
I am expert only on Painting, drawing, rock climbing and loving. yes. i am. 
and i’m a professional graphic designer, network administrator/computer technician.
and i forgot to mention i was an expert with the m-16A2 and m-249 SAW while in the US Infantry. Expert marksman. 
I like watching movies and carpentry. I have pictures of a couple of my projects. Here is a picture of the corner cabinet I built from plans from “The New Yankee Workshop”. Here and here are pictures of the 13x13 foot gazebo I built from my own design. It was screened in and had a 7 person hottub in it (actually it still has the hottub, but I sold the house so I don’t have the gazebo anymore).
I noticed GuanoLad said he is doing 3d graphics right now. That was a hobby of mine too a few years ago. Here are a couple stereograms I made then. This one is made from ascii characters and this one is a single image random dot stereogram.
I can crochet, knit, and cross-stitch. I haven’t learned how to sew though.
I used to draw a lot. Pictures and cartoons mostly. Now I only do it when someone needs me to do it for a presentation at work. Being artistic comes in handy at Halloween. Two years ago I carved Duke Ellington complete with top hat into a pumpkin. The next year I did Superman (the Superman S, Superman standing on the earth, the logo, and side profile of Superman).
Underwater photography, programing, woodworking - the lathe being my favorite.
I hunt for, collect, cut and polish agates. Sometimes particularly nice ones get set in jewelry.
I make little things by hand – like 8 inch tall outhouses with working doors and a seat inside, or small log cabins out of branches. Sometimes I like to use my Dremel grinder to etch patterns on glass. I like to garden, especially raising tomatoes because of the cost of them in the stores, love to read and to take long walks. I like to fish, but find that when I do, I usually spend much of my time prowling the shores looking at whatever interesting things washed up.
Birdwatching (but I don’t list).
Wreathmaking. Right now I’m working on a beetle wreath.
I’ve tried flyfishing but I’m slow at hooking the fish so I usually don’t catch anything. Still, I enjoy it. Wish I had tried it when I lived in Idaho.
Walking the boardwalk. Seagulls all around. Smiling at the tourist. Feeling so good inside when a tourist stops me and ask if I would take their picture. Virginia truly is for lovers. Don’t you think we should all meet here sometime? 
Birdwatching? That is so nifty! What eclectic hobbies everyone has!
Art, travel (especially to Yosemite, of course!) and pottery. I sometimes make money off my art and pottery. Wish I could make money off the the travel - I’ll have to work on that.
Some pictures to share:
Yosemite watercolor I painted while in the park. It’s of Half Dome, Yosemite’s “landmark”:

Some artwork. http://home.earthlink.net/~yosemitebabe/profile.jpg. I am learning how to do digital art - this was made on the computer, using a digital tablet, and the paint program “Painter”. All digital, no paper, pastels, paints involved. These new digital art programs are really something!
Collecting film scores by composers like Jerry Goldsmith, Maurice Jarre, and Ennio Morricone.

“I make envelopes. I use either paper I buy from a paper store or I cut out magazine pages with cool-looking colors or graphics on them. They are much more interesting than plain old white envelopes.”
Ooooooh! Me tooooo! But I can’t get the lines straight, so I bought a template that lets me cut out card-sized envelopes from letter-sized paper.
As for hobbies… traveling (and packing LIGHTLY for it) and visiting Disneyland, general computer/net stuff these days. But in the past, my monomaniacal personality has dabbled in: getting tattooed (I used to maintain the Tattoo FAQ in rec.arts.bodyart), some body piercing, jogging (I’ve completed two Honolulu marathons)… scuba diving (I’ve logged 200 dives from my years in Hawaii, as a rescue diver)… photography (B&W darkroom work including rolling my own film cuz it was way cheaper) – dabbled in some underwater photography and video as well… making cards with rubber stamps… guitar playing (used to own a Martin acoustic, and a Gibson Les Paul Custom [black])… boogie boarding (boy, that goes WAY back) in Waikiki…
