In my spare time I like to keep fit which mostly means running with my dog. I have a whippet called Ziggy and she’s a pretty skinny, speedy thing so I find it hard to keep up with her! I also enjoy following AFL, my team is the West Coast Eagles. I also like cooking and baking, especially chocolate cakes 🙂
I used to have free time, and then I had a child and he sucked it all up. These days I mostly spend my free time with my 2.5 year old son. We do cooking, cleaning, biking, going to museums, parks, flying kite, swimming, playing ball and stuff.
I like reading books, a combination of science fiction and actual science news. I have a Kindle for reading books which I really like.
For a while I was doing a lot of hiking. My wife and I hiked to Everest base camp in Nepal. That is 5,380 m (17,700 ft). You start getting altitude sickness, cannot sleep, have a hard time breathing, but it was lots of fun.
I also play games, but not spending that many hours playing games right now.
I love to tinker, not too much though as the kids and my wife do not like the clutter. POTBot came out of that interest. I like to make thinks with my son and daughter, over Easter break we tried to make a walking robot. It did not quite work as we planned, but the fun was in the making. If you like DIY and tinkering look at link 1) below.
I also love to play around with GoogleEarth, it is a great tool and resource. There is a lot it can do and more I wish it could do. Ideally I wish it was more SecondLife-ish but that may be asking too much. Look at link 2) below to see how my geekness has fared on basic trial.
I also love reading and keeping fit (I really like boxing!) and anything that’s creative: writing, photography, painting and playing music. I really would like more time to learn about astronomy, get outdoors more and learn another language, but there’s only so many hours in each day!

I like to cook and bake (currently I’m really liking cake decorating, here’s a pirate ship and a galaxy cake I made recently: http://pic.twitter.com/idNG6xis and http://pic.twitter.com/BWP4yiRs ).
