ok so i kno that all of you unicycle but what else do you do…what do you do when you need a little break from the uni…
mine are as follows: juggling(balls,clubs.and torches…knives soon), bmx, chess, and i can breathe fire( i mean as in like using a torch and spraying flamable fluides from my mouth at it…im not a dragon)
so whats are the things you do
baseball the national pasttime, model building, piano playin’, bass playin’ stilt walking, unicycle building/designing, computer programming, fishing, swimming, log rolling, making walking/hiking sticks, bike racing(only against myself to see howfast i can get across town and back)(and i have said it before but i will say it again, i will only ride a bike if it will do at least 35 mph(because i don’t have a car)), posting on unicyclist.com, hangin out with friends, and playing ski stunt simulator and ski stunt simulator 2.
that about covers it. if i think of any more i shall post again
using the search feature built into these forums is a nice skill you can have
breakdance and flatland bike. flatlanding is my oldest hobby. i loved it even when i was no good. but more so than even unicycling, breakdancing is what i love. its like a relief for me.
Actually my main hobby is old cars. I am a Chrysler nut and own several from 1957 to 1980. I also enjoy old movies especially those made between 1929 and 1934, also known as “pre-code” movies.
Oh yeah, and I’m a “Trekkie”!:o
I weightlift (mostly box squat/smith quat, deadlift and bench), Mountainbike, make digital art, do metalworking, read classic literature and banned books, write, and most of the time I am with my girlfriend.
Besides the girlfriend and unicycling of course, weightlifting is my biggest thing right now.
my hobby is getting mad at people when they say to use the search button
but anyway i uni like 99% of the time otherwhys its tv
Not so current pastimes: yo-yo tricks, legos, video games, basketball, volleyball, juggling, pranking with fake animals/insects/appendages/vomit, piano, trumpet, horn, launching water balloons with a slingshot, “playing” with graphing calculators, painting, building cardboard forts, memorizing digits of pi as well as other irrational numbers and physical constants, scrabble, chatting on IRC
Current pastimes: *cycling of many types, playing electronic musical instruments, reading books about math/philosophy/theology/science, dabbling in old pastimes, posting on Internet message boards…
Legos are great. I also mess around on the computer, play video games (after I get some good ones, that is), play with puzzles, watch tv, and ponder. Thinking can be interesting sometimes.
Cool. How far do you know pi and e? What are some of the others, square roots?
Hold on to that anger. It will serve you well when, as one of my NRA member friends always said, the sh*t really hits the fan.
This far:
3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286

1.732 (root 3)
299792458 m/s (speed of light)
9.80665 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity at sea level)
I used to know 250 digits of pi and about 8-12 digits of root 2, root 3, c, permeability of free space, permittivity of free space, Planck’s constant, Avogadro’s number, and any other physical constant that I used often in my high school physics courses.
I like to skateboard, surf, wakeboard, snorkel & scuba, travel, swim, track [run 5k, 10k, 100/300/500m fast, standing longjump (7.5ft) running longjump (13ft) triplejump (~12ft) highjump (4.5ft)], soccer, hacky-sack, programming (c, C++, java, perl, php), web design, digital image manipulation, photography, sleeping, balance beams, chugging (90oz of Gatorade in 29 non-consecutive seconds! / fastest amateur beer chugger in the area), dl cracked progz, hang out with my friends, listening to music, hang out with Meghan, party, getting into colleges is nice too, FIRST Robotics, overanalyzing things, debate, philosophy, burning things/making explosives, zoning out, talking to people online, browsing these forums, playing CS and WoW, Wikipedia’ing things, playing keyboard/piano/accordian ( 
), NOT cleaning up after hurricanes, and I probably like to do some other things, too, but I’m kinda(really) tired.
isnt sqrt(2) = 1.4141414141414…repeating…?
that shouldn’t be too hard to memorize… unless you were going to infinity-n…
moley moley moley moley moley </austin powers>
mol = 6.022 x 10^23 if i remember chemistry class correctly…
I recently had some internet contact (different forum) with someone who wanted to take his love of maths/numbers into skin-art.
He eventually decided to start a ‘pi spiral’ aound his ankle, spiralling up the leg. His plan is to add to the tattoo as he memorises more digits of pi.
How do you learn/memorise it? In batches of three?
memorizing pi. now thats kinda cool. ive never heard of that. ever.
James_Potter is [post=528939]another[/post] one.
I’ve said it before, but I’m quite happy to repeat myself:
Juggling (balls and knifes), club swining, fire spinning, poi spinning, fire club swinging, gadgets.

No. Sqrt(2) is an irrational number, so it never repeats itself, just like pi.
I did it in batches of three, four, and five, whichever grouping seemed to fit the next 10 or so digits.
