Haha ... yup .. I've got that! And nope .. I didn't learn a thing. I think when I follow the instructions, my brain shuts down. This is what you referred to as the Zen-like state of bliss :) My new hobby is a bit better in terms of learning. I started building radios and learned quite a bit about electronics (filters, tank circuits, etc.). I even got some kits to play with. When a circuit works like it is supposed to, I do get a sense of accomplishment :) From an addiction point of view, this is still pretty bad. Except now I'm funding worthy causes like SparkFun and Adafruit instead of Toys R Us :-p
