My favorite photo of him was taken when he was one year old. He couldn't
yet talk. But completely on his own, he grabbed a phillips screwdriver
from his dad's tool box, toddled over to his cousin's bike, plugged the
screwdriver into a phillips screw on the bike and tried to loosen it. I
snapped the photo and still have it on my refrigerator.

Very cool. Keep encouraging the kid. However, I have a sad story. My
guess is about 1984. I learned programming from a friend in exchange
for taking care of his computers. He ran a business doing custom
database programs and had a house full of DEC, NCR, and Plexus
computers. He needed me because he literally could not operate a
screwdriver. At first, I didn't believe that it was possible, so I
tried and failed to teach him to work with some basic hand tools. Such
things must be learned at an early age. His father had been an auto
mechanic and didn't want his son to also become an auto mechanic. So,
every time his son would pickup a tool, he would take it away from
him. The result is predictable. He became a very good programmer,
but was useless when it came to working with the hardware.
