what are you hobbies besides R/C?

PC: I have 6 desktops networked at my house currently. The best of which is a home-built dual-core Athlon machine w/ 2G RAM, twin flat-panel 19" monitors, 1.5TB HDD space (for video editing and Super8 film transfer), and a partridge in a pear tree. I also have 3 laptops, the best of which is a 15.4" with Intel Core2Duo and 1GB RAM. All in all I have 3.5TB of HDD storage at my house and most of it's full.

Video: I have a few video cameras. The best of which is a Canon GL2 Pro-sumer. Love that thing.

Cars: I've owned over 20 cars in the past 12 years. I just love cars. My favorite was a '91 Supra Turbo that I took to the 1/4 track regularly. It's gone now though.

Music: I play guitar and drums and sing occasionally. I've got a couple of small gigs coming up with my brother-in-law.

Guns: I mostly shoot my dad's and my brother's guns at old computer parts that I collect from work. I have a nice Gamo pellet gun. I'm looking to buy an SKS (7.62x39) soon.

Skiing: I used to be big into skiing, until I had an accident wherein I saw my spine with my own eyes. Somehow nothing broke, but I haven't convinced myself to return to the slopes ever since.

Movies: I am really big into watching movies. Favorites: Shawshank Redemption, Secondhand Lions, Good Will Hunting, Tombstone, Usual Suspects.

Home Theater: I have two set-ups, one upstairs and one downstairs. Both have 36" Sony HD TVs and Sony 7-channel receivers with complementing speakers. Nothing top of the line, but they get the job done well enough.

Family: Beautiful wife and two great kids. They get more of my time than anything else. They're definitely the most fun.

Yeah that's pretty much it.

Good times.

Yep, 3500 gigs. Crazy, huh? I'm transferring 20K feet of my dad's old Super8 film and every 2.5 minutes is 1GB. On top of that huge project, I have about 100GB of music and tooooons of ripped movies. I keep a backup of all of my camcorder tapes on there also and use it all to make movies for my family of various events and such. I also have about 100GB of photos.

Anyway, it all adds up. The important stuff is always backed up twice too in addition to off-site back-ups of the really important stuff.

Good thing space is cheap nowadays!
