Please don't take this the wrong way, but does this really belong on the front page of Hacker News? This is like celebrity news for nerds. I care about what Angelina got Brad for Valentines as much as I care about this.

Someone becomes curious about tech, wants to make something, does the hard work themselves, learns the hard way, gets the skills, actually makes the thing, ships it, makes people happy? Isn't it exactly the sort of thing that belongs on the front page of Hacker News?
