As you might have noticed, I am really interested in programming, but I have never limited myself to that. I am actually quite interested in (in no special order):
Archeology - Human History
Sociology - Human Interactions
Psychology - Matters Of The Brain
Audio - Car, Home, and Engineering
Robotics
It's funny how many of these topics have circled in and out of my interests for many years. My interest in archeology goes back to age 12 when my sixth grade teacher introduced Egypt to the class for the first time. I started listeing to a band called Iron Maiden at the same time which used history as their main topic for 90% of their songs.
Sociology
Human interaction has always fascinated me. From the time we as a child learn that we are alive to the time we die we (most of us) are always interacting with someone else. But what dictates 'how' we do that? As a shy person I allowed myself the time to sit back and observe people more than I actually interacted with them.
Psychology
It has been noted that many of the worlds geniuses actually had smaller than normal brains. What this aludes to is that we don't understand the brain half as much as we would like to. 'Kim Peek' the real "Rain Man" has more fluid in his brain cavity than was previously thought to be possible. Although one could sit here and argue him to not be a genius, his brains ability to recal the over 7600 books he has read - a remarkable feet by anybodys brain standard.
