What should we make today?
If I could wake up every morning and have that be the first idea to pop into my head... then I would be a happy person.
Making things makes me happy. I like repairing things around the house by myself, in fact the frustrating things are often the most fun. I like solving puzzles and creating my own solutions. I like to build. Most people do, they just don't know it yet.
