Why is it that when we start a project, despite careful planning, it always involves at least one more trip to the store because intial estimates were wrong? Yesterday, I failed at some basic math for some unknown reason and had to make a special trip to the store. Argh!

Although I have many years of formal education, most of what I've learned has come from experimenting and trying to solve problems on my own. Once an idea for a project is set in my mind, it is all-consuming and one must learn everything possible about the subject on the way to the outcome. For learning is more than reading books and spoken word, it is hours of frustration, trial and error, and one sudden flash of insight when the world magically makes sense. It is during this moment when I am truely alive.
