Survey to find what smart people do on the weekend (C. Dixon inspired)

Today, I re-read Chris Dixon’s essay “What the smartest people do on the weekend is what everyone else will do during the week in ten years”.

And I wondered, WHAT ARE the smartest people doing on the weekend?

If you’re unaware of the essay, here’s a TL;DR:

* Many breakthrough technologies initially were weekend hobbies. E.g. the PC, the web, blogs, Bitcoin, 3D printing, …

* Engineers are mostly trying to invent interesting things. This is what they are doing on the weekend in their spare time.

* These present-day hobbies will turn into future industries. What the smartest people do on the weekends is what everyone else will do during the week in ten years.

I created a 2-min survey to ask: What are the smartest people working on on the weekend?

This might be obvious to people living in tech epicenters like SF or Shenzen, but not to the broader world.

We might be able to find interesting patterns.
