I love Lego. I haven't played with them seriously in years, but I used to spend hours and hours and hours playing them. I find programming just like Legos, but without having to worry about running out of bricks. :D

I've only lost track of time doing three things. Legos and programming were the other two.

No, you're a guy. Adding programming to ... other things ... shows it. Now, if you were thinking of adding ... other things ... to programming, then that would just be geeky. :wink:

PS, I would concur with your last post... :D
