As I say in my signature I live with a number (currently 6) of semi autonomous robots. They are mostly built out of stock parts from hobby shops or robotics websites but all have custom programming and some of the electronics are designed and made by myself.
The yellow one in the picture below is probably the oldest one I currently have being somewhere between 10 to 15 years old. That one was an experiment in programming an artifical insect.
The red one is more recent. He has bluetooth for digital communications (with my PC and subsequently my lights and appliances), a voice for vocal communication, a digital compass and PID motor control for navigation and sonar and IR for collision avoidance. Oh and the cat loves to play with him because he reacts to moving objects. Again all custom code.
Right that's my geeky Show and Tell, sorry they are not pretty but it is what I do when I am not reading.

Oh, now see .... I LOVE those!!! I wouldn't know where to start. My photography and some of my paintings are over at Renderosity.com (under the name "rickymaveety" .... I know, what a shock.
I like to make furniture, but I've already posted photos of more of the recent stuff, and some of the older stuff as well.
I make quilts, but I haven't made one in a long time. I've got one that's pieced, but I did the piecing 5 years ago, and then I moved, and now I don't know what I'm going to do with it.
Here's a still frame from a movie that I was working on .... until I got to busy and my main render PC went goofy on me. It was called "Chain Reaction" and was all about suns coming to colorful life and the touch of one causing the same to occur with the others. Problem was, I couldn't get the right to use the music. So, between that and the PC, I dropped the project.
