My interest in electronics started when I was 11 or 12 and has led me to a 40+ year career in electrical engineering and programming. Thinking back, I attribute that, in somewhat equal parts, to Popular Electronics, the ARRL Ham Radio Handbooks, and Forrest Mims. I only built a few smallish projects (mostly dealing with blinking LEDs) but they were enough to keep my interest. Funny thing is that, after I graduated with my EE degree and got my first job, I haven't touched a soldering iron or designed a circuit since.
