MYOG, to me, is the more manly way of saying DIY, but I think it is directed at functional items (gear) that are made to be comparable in quality to mass produced items but that are custom to the user's needs and cheaper to make than buy.
This entire idea describes me perfectly. I'm all about functionality and usually feel I can make my own stuff better than buying it because it's exactly how I want it to be.
That said, I want to share a few of the MYOG items I've done lately.
