Woodwork, metalwork, art, music, and politics. I also love the outdoors, especially either the beach or long backpacking trips into the mountains.
Great inventors, thinkers, and creators- Da Vinci, Edison, Newton, Martin Luther King, Socrates, Galileo, etc. Well, assuming I first figured out how to make a universal translator so I could understand them.
Pretty much any- rock, Broadway, metal, soft rock, classical, jazz, island, country, alt country. Pretty much any that isn't hard rap; I like melody and harmony to go with my rhythm.
Anything which isn't too artsy or drama-ish. If I want pure drama, I'll live my life. If I watch a movie, I want to escape that.
Battlestar Galactica, Numbers, American Chopper, Dirty Jobs, Good Eats, the Daily Show, the Tonight Show, My Name is Earl.
Pretty much any by Tom Clancy, Larry Niven, Bruce Campbell, John Scalzi, Tolkein, J.K. Rowling, Christopher Paolini, or Orson Scott Card- though I'll read pretty much anything, enjoying most of it. I also read Make, Popular Mechanics, Seed, and Playboy magazines (yes, I actually do read the articles)
Anyone who follows the road they have chosen for themselves rather than merely following the road they wind up on by putting one step in front of another- whether it be someone who strives for a goal, or someone who gives up that goal for a more immediate need.
