On the subject of experimentation and learning something new, there is one local ham that comes to mind.
What seems to drive him is the quest to understand how things work. Couple that with his "shut up and solder" philosophy, and you'll wonder if this guy gets any sleep.
Beware the pages aren't without attitude. The deeper you dig and get lost in his "web," it seems necessary needs to filter out those who are not like minded, and have no intention of picking up an iron.
The amazing part is nearly everything is built from curb surfings..... "Hey, what can I do with this?" .... Experimentation at it's finest!

I have also started archiving a collection of his prominent projects.

I have to say, this N9ZIA guy's posts about repurposing FHSS gear like Proxim symphony gave me my initial reason to get involved with amateur experimentation. It was the summer of 2000 and broadband was not yet in my neck of the woods. I decided I would do whatever necessary to bridge a reasonable speed connection to my employer's T1 line a half mile away. I've been hooked ever since.
