What do you do?

I teach robots to walk by day, and by night I build my own tools, including a website that pretends to be a PlayStation 2.

Why?

I'd rather understand a thing than just use it, so I rebuild what I touch until I know how every part works. And making something useless and delightful, like a 3D head that falls asleep when you ignore it, is the most fun I know.

What should we read?

Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (ISBN 9780061339202)
