...you make functional computers inside computer games...
...you (start to) code an OS out of boredom in the weekend...
...your room has parts of all kinds in every corner...

...your collection of old computer hardware weighs more than you do, even through you're really overweight...
Heck - my collection probably weighs more than my truck (ok - slight exageration there - but sometimes I step into my shop and wonder). ...let's see... Not sure if this counts - but I've spent the last 2 weeks, every evening on the weekdays (4-5 hours a night) plus both weekends (many times staying up well past 3am - last Saturday, I pulled an all-night until 8:30am on Sunday) studying, taking notes, quizes, "homework", etc - on two free online Stanford classes (AI & ML); I've never worked so hard on something I didn't pay for. My wife hasn't divorced me...yet. Yeah, that's not a great punch-line to the joke, I know...  |

you rent storage space when you move to a smaller place because there was just too many "things" you couldn't let go.
"things":
boxes of scavenged stepper motors
the keyboard from an old Ensoniq synth
200 LED's from a few found arcade game PCB's
boxes of really odd electronics stuff that "might come in handy one day"

Someone posts a forum message asking for help with some obscure IC and you think "wait, I have one of those, I'll see if I can reproduce it".

You are excited when a kitchen appliance dies because you can salvage parts from it.

You get up at 4am to go to a specific store to buy the newest gadget NOT because you want it right away but because you know Woz will be there and you want a signature and autograph.
