What's your hobby?
After a long hard day of computer programming I like to go home and compose classical-style symphonic music on my midi synthesizer.

What's your favorite after work pass time or hobby?

13. Do you publish your tunes to the web?
I was just curious, because I've always wanted to hear what other musical DUers are up to, serious or otherwise.

15. I'm working on it. I'm a wee shy, though. Whoisalhedges has heard some of
my work. It is on the "Pink September" LP that Randomkoolzip and I (plus another friend) created.

He can attest to my genius. That's if he's speaking to me again.

4. I compose experimental and ambient electronic music.
Wow, quite a few of us here! I use Acid Pro 4 and Fruity Loops. Just added a crappy mic so I can do vocals and more fx.

16. Doesn't anyone on here have a collection of something?
Stamps, coins, junk? I collect antique license plates. They are neat and colorful and make a great display in the garage.

17. Star Wars action figures
But I haven't collected any since about the year 2000 because:
1. The Episode II figures were junk.
2. I just can't afford it like I used to.

I do have all but about 3 of the Power of the Force line that came out in the late 90's.

19. Electric Violin
I need to get back to practicing though. I've been spending more time playing computer games. What I really want to do, though, is get some queen to play on my electric. I even know a questionable-rock group that might play with me.
