More seriously, I party on the weekends like Daniel Muffinberg. Otherwise, I like to read, write computer programs, post on internet forums, and work out at the gym.

I could tell all the cool hobbies I have, but that is in fact uncool, so I will tell you the nerdiest hobby I have:

Apart from economics, it's watching Starcraft 1on1s commentated by HuskyStarcraft on YouTube.

You forgot to include trolling (and not very good trolling, I might add).

Hanging out with my girlfriend, power lifting, reading, watching sports (Yankees, Devils, Giants), etc. I used to love playing Halo 2 and 3 for Xbox then my 360 broke and I just stopped playing, I may start again though.

Direct a choir that specializes in the polyphonic repertoire of the Renaissance.

Now that's what I call a hobby. So much to study, never a boring moment.

Civ would be awesome as hell if you could build a Laissez-Faire economy with the gold standard, and private property.

Boring.

Yeah, it's called modding.

An unofficial economic system trainer for the game would make it interesting, especially if you could define what private property, what standard, etc. are (i.e. instead of private property in say, a strict sense, you could make it more Georgian or more Mutualist or whatever).

Points if you did this & made a N.A.C. map :D

and practicing Krav-Maga (fun and actually useful martial art)

I first found out about Krav Maga several weeks ago. I've been meaning to find a place and start taking classes. What's the learning curve like?

Well, must of the moves are simple and effective, no mumbo jumbo, the main kick of Krav-Maga is the good old kick to the groin, fine-tunning the moves to be able to use effectively even if you exhausted or caught by surprise that is part of the fun. Although Krav-Maga is brutal and not very artsy, it requires a lot of discipline and will.

Of course there are plenty complex and advanced techniques, as well defense against knives and guns. The physical trainning that is quite demanding, so if you have been sedentary for long, you might struggle at first, but no big deal, nothing you dont get used to by the 2nd month.
