I always enjoy reading about a good project - something with a bit of a story, involving some clever design or fabrication, and meticulous attention to detail. And despite (or possibly because) I spend my days designing and analysing things in the virtual world, validating and visualising things in precise detail long before any metal is ever cut; outside work I tend towards a more organic form of engineering.
