I'm amazed by the number of cubers/jugglers. I actually made a thread on the cubing/juggling overlap a bit ago.

I'm way better at juggling than cubing. I'm a 23 second solver with a last layer that's slower than 4 look. I've qualified 8 balls and flashed 9 in juggling.

I'm really into music also. I sing, and I love listening to music.

I do juggle and play chess but not everyday its hard to find someone who plays chess. I do play tetris on facebook. I did use to play alot of super mario on wii when my sister let me barrow it. That game is addicting.

I juggle and I'm really interested in learning some about chess. And obviously, I solve. Wow. The similariries. :O
 
Apart of being an amateur twisty puzzle solver, I also take an interest in:

- Selected subjects (of which I do library and internet research) like the vaccination, climate change, carbon tax, flouridiation, teaching of Creationism/ Intelligent design in
schools debate and other stuff. I did avoid vaccinations in my childhood and by my own motives and quite cheerfully too!
- Collect Kids "Fun Page" entries from September 1973 to weekly entries (since June 18, 2006). I only do South Australian paper entries though.
- Listen to CD's
- Watch DVD's
- Watch TV
- Read "conspiracy" (ie 9/11 = inside job, JFK killed by illumanti, etc) magazines alot
- Listen to radio (Triple J, community radio)
- Watch sport on TV
- Collect and watch long forgotten cartoons and TV shows on DVD (with preference to legally obtained sources).

Such stuff I've seen include:

The Lone Ranger (1960's animated series)
Rodger Ramjet
The Adventures Of Kum Kum
The Mysterious cities Of Gold (Did you know that season 2 is out on DVD on 20/02/2014 with a Region 2 DVD?)
Danger Mouse
Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics
Belle & Sebastion (1980's animated series)
Maya The Bee (1980's animated series)
The Little Prince (1980's animated series)
The Mighty Hercules (1960's animated series)
Tarzan (1970's animated series)
Star Wars Holiday Special
Kimba The White Lion
Leo The Lion

This may sound weird, but I'm into Monopoly at the moment. It's a lot more strategy based than most people think.

Also, I play many sports and am very interested in mathematics and statistics.

Cool, is there a good Monopoly game simulator for the PC?
 
Hi! My alternate hobbies are:
1. Playing piano-still beginner and only can play two songs, tetris theme A and toccata and fugue.
2. Video games - I gaming a lot. Most game i play is rpg and fps.
3. Kill some time on this forum and XDA developers forum (I'm an android geek XD)
4. Tetris
5. Sudoku.
Sorry for my bad english and this is my first post :-)
 
Kind of surprised that performing magic isn't a popular choice since all you speed cubers are so dexterous with the fingers. I do a few pretty nice card tricks. I also do a few coin manipulation tricks (or use poker chips when I'm at the Hold 'Em table). Other than that, I love Tetris and Ms. Pacman. I also can do basic juggling (my juggling is on par with my cubing, so not very good). I was into coding in college, but I haven't done that in a while, I really enjoy computer hardware though and building gaming computers.
 
I don't know if I am the only one who is a competitive runner here, but I think that running and cubing are very similar, you focus on a goal and train for it.
I am also a frequenter of the letsrun.com forums and wonder if anyone else here does, by the way I run an XC 5k in 16:34 ( but I could have gone around 1620 in that race) after being injured during track.

I would like to know if there are any runners on these forums

I am not much of a runner myself, but i think that you should find these threads interesting. Also, welcome to the forums!

Chess <3. To shamelessly state my titles, I'm a former U14 Australian champion. https://au.tornelo.com/tournaments/australian-junior-championships--12 I also use to do a fair bit of card magic though I eventually dropped it. I've retained a few simpler tricks though.

Same here. Just not a national U14 champion... I also in a chess competition at my school which starts in a couple of weeks; where I'm up against some of the best junior players in the south coast. Wish me luck (I'll need it) :p
