One of my favourite ways to unwind is to fire up the computer and play a challenging game. My current addiction is Minecraft. The sandbox style game allows me to continue to think and plan while still being an escape. I don't shy away from other genres, but I do enjoy a good challenge and a game where strategy is just as important as skill.

I prefer Alternative and Indie rock at the moment. While I am a big fan of the Foo Fighters, I also really enjoy a small Indie show downtown now and then. I have recently been listening to The Black Keys, Mother Mother, Cage the Elephant and more. While I listen to rock in my day-to-day I am also subscribed to the Tsoundcheck program offered by the Toronto Symphany Orchastra and love heading to Roy Thompson Hall to listen to their performances.

I have recently finished Douglas Adams Hitchhiker's series and am currently reading the Ender Saga by Orson Scott Card. There are two types of books I tend to pick up, Sci-Fi/Fantasy and tech reference manuals, and funny enough I find equal joy in reading both.
