Computing: networking and net/sysadmin activities, security and encryption applications, any sort of application that makes interesting use of any size network (p2p, audio broadcast, VoIP), some fps’ing :).
School. Frighteningly enough, I don’t dislike it too much. Only for the occasional horrible teacher. Good movies. Anime. Manga. Cons, such as Metrocon, to a lesser extent Megacon and Jacon. Asian cuisine (read: Japanese and Chinese food :). Reading (unfortunately I don’t do this as much as I’d like, but we all have books we can’t put down). | | Music |
