Back in 2001/2002 (I was 11 or so) I wrote an AppleScript to play a specific iTunes playlist. I then set up my iMac to run this script every morning at ~5am to be my alarm clock. That feeling of bending the computer to my will was pretty cool, and started me down the path to becoming a software engineer. It's amazing what ~10 lines of code turned into.
