What do you like the most about redstone?: The satisfaction of making something new and complex as well as pushing the envelope of redstone technology.
What's a thing you have made which demonstrates redstone knowledge?: 256 Byte Redstone Harddrive
What does the thing do?: It reads and writes pairs of 4-tick analog signals to a looped line of comparators to mimick the way a real harddrive spins it's platters and reads and writes them at the R/W head. It has 4 platters of 64 Bytes and each platter has a maximum seek time of 51.2 seconds. There is an added delay of ~2.5s between the write pulse occurring and the write actually taking place (due to limitations of analog bussing) and another ~2.5s on top of that for reading (~5.0s extra wait time to read a byte).

A memory unit is not sufficient for build.

What's a thing you have made which demonstrates redstone knowledge?: 4-bit signed Adder
What does the thing do?: It adds two signed 4 bit integers (-8 to 7) and provides an output value (between -8 and 7), sends it to an analog encoder, then a analog decoder and a 8-segment display. It can also add two negatives that < -8 to make a positive. Somewhat laggy due to length of analog bus and bad layout.

A four bit signed adder is not sufficient for build.

What's a thing you have made which demonstrates redstone knowledge?: 8-bit ALU
What does the thing do?: It ADDs or NANDs two 8-bit inputs and provides a response in 24 ticks, synchronized. Everything has to wait for the RCA, but both operations take the same amount of time (due to use of laggy gates) and output arrives at the same time.
