I've always been a fan of technology, but I aside from putzing around at home I'd never built anything substantial. When I discovered Mission Possible, that all changed. Since then I've built 5, and spend a measurable fraction of my life in my basement (no, I'm not crazy...yet). There's nothing quite like pounding coffee at 4AM in the morning "perfecting" the machine before the big day. Then, no matter how many times its worked in the past, something stupid always goes wrong in front of the judges. Gotta Love It!
