#6I'm too busy these days (I only run to keep myself sane) but I used to design & build hi-fi gear. It's a lot of computer modeling and a fair amount of sawing / soldering.

#7Cooking is probably my favorite hobby, I love doing something with my hands and really feeling accomplished when I make a great meal.
This may sound childish, but I also really enjoy building and playing with LEGOs. I just have a few sets but I constantly rebuild them and I find it is an interesting thing to do while listening to music.

#9I think the best hobbies for hackers are the ones that will force you to go out. Walking, sports, astronomy, going to the beach, and so forth. We already use too many hours to stay at home hacking so it is better to counterbalance in some other way in the free time.
