It looks pretty standard to me. Tech companies have their IP stolen and (imho) it's hard to not be inspired in your private works by the job you're doing 40+ hours per week.
If you don't like it talk with them. It's not set in stone. Sometimes people can be reasonable =) Just don't sign it if you're not certain you'll abide by it.
Sorry, just re-read your post. Did you already sign this? I don't know if anyone else has another experience, but I'd say your 2 choices are abide by it, or look for another job. Read the contracts before you sign them.
