I was an art major in college. I rarely if ever do any "traditional" art these days - but I program pretty much 90% (or more) of my waking time.
I feel a need to create and see output, so perhaps this feeds that? Don't know.
Although I also am pretty compulsive about analysis of patterns - always have been - and computers allow me to do that and have fun.
(and the stock market allows me to do that and make money too <g>)

There are some odd things afoot now, in the Villa Straylight.
