Whew! What a geek! :-)
I have a friend who's big into legos -- builds all sorts of things with them, from picture frames for a digital picture he salvaged from an old laptop, to a remote controlled robot that he could control via a website and watch via a webcam.
I actually think it's fairly cool to have geeks around. I *do* work at a software development company, after all, with my trusty scooter (shocks on both front and back wheels) just feet away....

The last few seconds of the video are hilarious! I bet those are his kids! :-)
I read a year or two ago a column that lauded geeks as being the best lovers. I suppose he'd have to have won someone's heart to have kids. :-)
