Does this guy write his own copy? He sounds pretty full of himself. He has a right to be after making these things, but still.

You are getting modded down, but you are correct his description has a few sentences that are bad enough to be somewhat off-putting. Its bad form in the art world to call something you created a masterpiece or extraordinary (even if it is).

I chalk this up to lack of experience.

The work is beautiful, it would be better to have less hyperbole in the description .

Yeah.

"The circuit is extremely complex", sure, to someone with no basic knowledge about circuits. It's a couple of frequency dividers and BCD drivers.

Not to say I'm not impressed; I would never have the patience to see a project like this through.

Agreed. It's more than a bit gauche (and certainly off-putting) to describe ones own work as a masterpiece.
