Biking (, urban and political anthropology, urban planning, reading (some fiction, mostly non-fiction), writing (same thing, but I also write really bad poetry), music, the fun and scary science that DARPA is up to, skiing, talking, talking, and talking some more (but in person or in writing, not on the phone)...
