what are your other hobbies and interests?

[Friendly]

my primary interest is computing...I like learning about the new tech and what it does/can do. it's almost my job...so that's kinda cheating.

next up is astronomy. I just purchased an 8" Schmidt Cassegrain...the Celstron NexStar Evolution Edge 8 HD. also in my kit is a Sky Watcher 80mm ED refractor, a Celestron 90mm Maksutove Cassengrain and in preparation of the 2017 solar eclipse (totality viewable out of Oregon) a Lunt 60HA solar scope.

next up would be shooting. not for sports, just recreation and relaxation. recoil therapy, as my brother coined it, is quite fun!

I'd like to get in to microscopy, but I've no room for the equipment.
