And I guess I can start: mine are rock climbing, flying single engine planes (hoping to get into gliders) which is currently on break, and neuroscience (at an extremely amateur level). If anyone wants to get an introduction to climbing and are in the DC, Philly or NY area, I'd love to show you the ropes (har har).

Rock climbing might be interesting. I'm in Philly, might take you up on that offer sometime.

My contact's in my info page. The Philly gyms I've been to are a bit subpar, but should be alright as an introduction.

Along those lines, Shibari. It's a great way to meet girls.

If you don't know what Shibari is, don't try looking it up on Wikipedia at work. Do it when you get home.

To save me the hours and hours of curiosity, does someone want to give a brief and work-safe summary of what this particular activity is?

Artfully tying people up. It's sometimes associated with nudity, which is probably why people have added disclaimers; although I can't imagine a workplace that'd penalize a simple google search for it while allowing HN.

Japanese bondage, mostly with ropes. That's what Wikipedia says.
