What you do outside technical work?

My main hobby is taking my car to the race track and driving fast. Learning the line, finding a pace buddy and following each other, critiquing each others' lines. Trying out different tires, brake pads, alignment, etc. It's a great hobby because it will literally consume any and every resource I have (time and money, basically) so I have to limit it. I am very mechanically inclined so I do all the work myself.

I cannot state enough how much I love it. It's both an art and a science. It involves danger. It's exciting. The community is absolutely insanely great. It allows me to progress both through ladders set up by organizations, and by my own recording of lap times. I can compete as hard as I want or I can just go out there and turn laps at 7/10 and no one cares.

Jiu Jitsu.

It keeps the body loose. I like to go right after work so all of my bad desk posture gets stretched out of me.

It's a lot of fun, and a great way to socialize while working from home.

I surf as often as possible.
