Ask HN: What do other HN'ers do outside of computers/programming?

I think a lot of us spend inordinate amounts of time hunching over the computer/coding/hacking away/building the next Facebook etc... but I'm wondering if there other HN'ers out there who have pursued other areas of expertise that have nothing whatsoever to do with computers/programming.

Either as a hobby, pure personal interest or the desire to add an additional skill.

I'd love to hear your experiences with something like this (eg. what drove you to it, were you happy you chose it, and did you achieve success with it -and by success I mean any definition of success you want to attribute to it, tangible or intangible)
