Besides PC related things, what skills do you have?

[OddlyShapedTree]

Hello everybody! I know that most of us when asked what we are good at we list computers as on of the first, if not the first, of our skill set. But is all you know computers? I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that but I am interested to see what everyone else is good at. The next thing for me after computers would be cars and overall mechanics. But other than that I took four years of culinary school and have two certifications and I know how to cook very well. What about you?

I have no skills that don't relate to computers or electronics.

Pretty good with mechanics, mostly 2 stroke engines.  I also very much enjoy papercrafting, I've had this paper pendulum clock sitting around for a while, completed about 1/3 of it in about a month and put it down since it is a lot of work, one day though.

Oh yeah, another thing, I was professionally certified in Autodesk Inventor 2013 before the summer started and am an avid automata model designer, so far I've designed a counter that uses a geneva gear that can be daisy chained, not working on much right now, it's getting all of these mechanisms to work together that is the challenge.

Other than computers I know a bit about cars and like learning about them but I also a little bit of CAD modeling, Certified CSWA user for SolidWorks.

You guys should try exploring your outlook. There is no problem with having a best skill,or favorite hobby. But the more you know and can do the better!

[D3MON]

I trained as an engineer learning to MIG, TIG, Arc weld, draw up engineers drawings and various forms of fabrication in school (2005), i then went on to train as a mechanic always loved cars and engines... and did a bit of that (2006).
Did airsoft for a number of years and i love guns and the engineering in them, shame we just dont have them in england.
in sept 2010-july 2011 I got into downhill mountain bikes starting on a high specced carrera banshee, then a solid mission 9, then a specialised bighit............ I got an 01 astra car some time around then aswell, then i wrote my car off and my bikes got nicked in the same month (still p***ed).....that was all from sept 2010 to july 2011 then i decided to leave wheels behind and moved to pc's and have been building them ever since (getting into stereo equipment too) I research every day. learn anything i can about anything...because I believe knowledge and experiance are invaluable.
Also love documentarys so i learn what i can about politics, history, wars, railway revolutions and so on and so forth (yay for peter and dan snow)

might be a bit long winded but I felt i had to explain, I dont think its the same when 2 people say they like the same thing, how do you distinguish between an anthusiast pc guy/gamer/mechanic and somone who just likes it and know a bit about it? I like learning about space and the universe but im no astrophysicist...

I agree with you, but I didn't think many people wanted much detail. You sound like someone with a lot of experience, I hope I can do tings like that one day. I plan on it.
