Ever since I can remember, I've always tried "inventing" or engineering new things using whatever there was available. Then when I was about 10 or so my family got it's first computer, and I found out that I could "invent" (program) stuff on the computer without any limitation of physical materials. This is just taking a step up from making things on a computer run, to making things on a physical object run... via a computer.

Basically: engineering is fun.
