I spent a large part of the afternoon yesterday trying to fix a circuit board that had been damaged. It felt good to try to repair it rather than throw it out and buy a replacement. I enjoyed the process, and hope to repair more things in the future.

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.
