Ask HN: What do you consider fun?

15 pointsby IndySuntoday at 7:51 PM5 commentsview on HN

If you're inordinately in front of a computer screen for a living, day in day out, week after week, when you've finally had enough and need a break, what works for you to counter it?

No matter the weather (UK, its grey and dank), or locale, a timer and an enforced outdoor solo walk generally perks me up.

Hand tool woodworking. Zero screens needed. All you need is about a 8x8 foot space that you can get messy.

MORE COMPUTER SCREEN!

Seriously, I just cannot get enough of making things. Hardware, software, CAD, whatever, I just love making stuff. The more I can make, the better.

I can't get enough of computers, either. I love it.

I spend an inordinate amount of time reading (fiction) when I'm not at work. always a nice break from anything else I'm doing.
