The Many Hairs of Paul I spent many years with long hair and no interest in doing anything with it. Last summer I decided to do something different.

Sundries

I have an astonishingly martial array of hobbies (at least, it astonished me when I listed them one day) - I can only assume I'm in training for the day my workstation renames itself Skynet and tries to enslave humanity. Until then, they're some fun ways to build integrated fitness and agility. Or fun to just read about - some interesting sites to cite:

My "historical combat reenactment with live weapons" link has apparently died, but the just-as-hardcore Dog Brothers are still going strong.
Zen and the art of skewering hay bales - interesting archerial essays. It's easier than you might think.
Speed Train with Bruce - a semirandom link to some Jeet Kune Do suggestions. Suggestions from an eclectic art to match my own...eclectic...style.
BladeSport - not content with Okinawan farm implements, I guess the sabre just called to me. I wish I could figure out what it was saying...
A quick sketch - okay, so drawing isn't martial at all. But, look, it's a werewolf with an arrow in 'im, so it's almost martial...

There's the less militant hobbies, of course:

I've taken up running (in the "I do it once every couple months" sense), and my mile time appears to have fallen below 6 minutes, and my 5km time - the once I've actually run that far - was 20:14. To my great surprise, it seems like I'm fast.
In one of the few sunny days recently, I decided I should go for a jog. An hour later my legs were getting tired, so I went and calculated how far I'd run. 13km, it turned out, putting me at a pace that would have been in the top 20% of typical 10km races. Apparently, web surfing is effective conditioning for long runs.

I do, in fact, even have less physical hobbies, although I get rather a lot of my recommended daily nonphysical allowance by spending 10-14 hours per day in the computer science building. I don't have a lot of interesting stuff ready to say about them yet, though, so, while I realize that didn't stop me with the physical hobbies, one's gotta draw a line somewhere.
