Hobbies
I would have hobbies if I had free time :). As is, I love to spend time with my family camping, hiking and playing football (the real football where you use your feet). I also enjoy photography and have had lots of fun playing with open source stitching and High Dynamic Range (HDR) software.
Important Things
Although I love robotics and can't imagine doing anything else for a career... there are many things that are more important to me:
(As a side note I have to say that I appreciate the valiant efforts of my wife to listen whenever I talk about robots, even though I'm sure she finds it boring.)
In general though, I try to put my family first because although I might help invent robots to take care of me when I'm old and grey, I'd rather have my kids around too and a wife that still loves me.
- my wife
- my kids
- the rest of my family and friends
- my religion
