Pretty much anything mechanical or electronic/electrical. However I have a distinct love of robots and automotive engineering. I'll happily discuss vision algorithms or engine tuning ALL night long. I do it all day in work too

Bikes. Badminton shots. Films. Certain bands (Coheed and Cambria mainly). Sometimes maths, but usually just to take the piss out of people forget to +c when integrating or something.

It was boat rating and performance factors (optimisation) but fell out of love with racing yachts due to costs and cliques at clubs.

"creative things" like photoshop, video editing, motion graphics/3d animation and that sort of thing.
Not really that nerdy about bikes but can bodge/fix most things if I have a good set of instructions to follow or if it's self explanatory.

Music.
I understand music. It gets right on my tits when people who have no clue about it believe their opinion to be just as valid.
The fact that a certain little ditty makes you tap your feet or cream your panties because you want to do dirty things with the singer doesn't mean you have the slightest clue about the competency of the musicians involved.

Maps and navigation here. Love poring over old maps especially.
Fascinated by older ways of navigation too - I'd love to have a play with a sextant, I know bugger all about astronomy though so probably fail miserably.Posted 7 months ago # -
Bikes, Boats. Weirdly good at knowing where places are too.

Filemaker Pro databases (pretty obscure, I know). Cameras (but like Grum, easily out-geeked). Scottish rock climbing (up to about 2005-ish).
[EDIT] Maps too. Love maps.

Sadly, guns. Rifles in particular. But that's a professional interest, and I am out-geeked by several people in my club.

If I did Master Mind I'd choose the Life and Legend of Jack the Ripper.
