I make stained glass, occasionally. I like to write and invent games. I like the idea of taking a classic old RPG and tweaking it.
I have an alternate version of Wizardry, and I have a job-based idea inspired by FF5.

Well, you see, I work with the algorithms, not the interface. SO, lacking source code to tweak here and there, I can't, short of reprogramming the entire game and reproducing the game data.

My main hobbies are reading, programming, and music. I attempt to write some music, but mostly I play with algorithmic composition or csound, or spend time trying to learn to use my Motif (synthesizer).
My current programming projects (at various levels of completion) include a GBA port of UQM, an editor/librarian for my synthesizer, and a programming language.
I'm also in the Society of Automobile Engineers at school. We're building a formula style racecar, and I'm helping to design (actually hopefully I'll be getting help soon, so far I've been on my own) a wireless telemetry system for it so we can monitor and make adjustments without having to make a pitstop.

Stained glass? What kind of glass, liek just panes, or glasses, or ornaments or what?
I take colored glass, cut it into shapes, then grind down the sharp edges. Then I put copper tape around the outside edge, and solder the pieces together.
Most of the things I've made were to hang or lean in a window to catch the light. I also made 2 boxes.
Most of my work has been abstract and small, but I have done two larger representational pieces (not large like a stained glass window, more like 30 cm by 25 cm)-- or rather, I have done one and am almost done with a second.

I'm quite an avid gamer myself. D&D, D20 Modern (rules j00 f00!), anything that seems interesting. Later today I'm going to a D20 called "Supers". Not Superheroes, because you can be a villian too, and well...I kinda am. The basic choices of characters are those that can melee like no other and soak up damage to boot (Brick), those with some sort of otherwordly powers which they manifest at wll (Nova, Psychic), your basic X-Man (Mutant), and me, the guy with aim so good he can headshot an ant at 200 feet, no scope; the Duelist.
Other hobbies...uh...Diablo II...no, that's a game...Star Control is a game...Oh, I read. Sometimes.

Well i play computer games.............
but what makes me different is i play computer games in a chair i invented then made. This chair holds my keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, joystick, and computer with no need for a desk. I call it "The Chair" because there is so much electricty running through it it could be used for executions; thankfully they insulate wires. I would post a picture if I had any motivation to do so.
I also do some martial arts. just enough to injure myself every so often.
and other things i do.... I read, watch alot of anime, and right now im making a mod for NWN about the Wheel of time series of books.( 0.01% completed.)

I also play CPU games - I like the command and conquer series. (I rule Red alert 2!) I just got renagade and that is fairly good.
I, uh read a lot and I am learning computer programming (just started though).
I am a brown belt (one below black) in martial arts and I also test out a certain game called Ur-quan Masters (ever heard of it?)
I am also into sports (Go Patriots!!!) and play baseball, hockey (We made a rink outside my house) and football. That is about it.
