Off the clock
Field observations. Subject studied in the wild.
Chess
I take the games too seriously sometimes.
Soccer
Manchester United fan since I was young. Not too composed while watching the games.
Running and the gym
Running clears my head. Lifting undoes the hours at a keyboard.
Coffee
Not a hobby. A hard dependency. Uptime drops sharply without it. I love exploring new beans. No, I don't get the hints of honey and chocolate.
