Hobbies: computers and yoga. I read a lot too. I just started playing chess again recently and I'm enjoying it quite a bit.
A note on timeouts: I play a reasonable number of games and rarely use my timebank, let alone timeout. I'm not quick to take a game from an opponent who's timed out, but if you do so repeatedly I will assume that you're playing too many games or just aren't that interested and take it (especially if I'm losing. :p )
