Fun isn't always about games. Fun can be watching your project get off the ground the first time, or watching that "Ah, ha!" moment when someone learns something new.

Here are links to a few things I found interesting. There is even a link to the GNU website of engineering tools I'd like to explore. I hope you also find these entertaining.
