Pinball enthusiast and occasional pinball streamer here. You can find me on twitch.tv/nspinball when I do it.

Also a pinhead. WW is currently one of my favs.

Photography. Puts me in a "zen" mood, makes me focus on nature, my surroundings, the seasons. Been doing it for 20+ years. Just a hobby to relieve stress and enjoy life.

I maintain a 220 gallon saltwater reef tank and go SCUBA diving when I can (which isn't often). Golf and tennis, and I love watching big budget brain dead action and sci-fi movies (I will tolerate a movie that makes you think as long as it checks the big budget, heavy action, or sci-fi theme - e.g. Inception, Tenet, Interstellar).

Work sometimes becomes a hobby. When my company introduces a new product, I inevitably spend a lot of personal time picking it apart.

Awesome! Wonka is by far our favorite. We also have JJP POTC CE, Guns CE and Hobbit BA.

Besides my 4S my biggest hobby is shooting handguns. Shot competitively for years but now just for fun. My wife is as enthusiastic about it as I am.

And I started skeet and trap shooting this year and really enjoy it.

The pyramids (about 1.5 km from my house) are a set of four huge glass "ecosystems" that contain biomes from 4 different parts of the Earth.

It is a very popular tourist spot here in my city and was set up in the 1970's by a very wealthy Canadian family that donated the land, money, and resources to build this facility on what used to be an industrial incineration plant (yuck).

Here's another photo I took of them recently:

The Wiki entry for this wonderful facility can be found here:

Nice! I go by the same name on pinside if you want to talk about the silver ball over there. I suspect this crowd would get tired of it quick!
