I had the pleasure of joining the Hak5 crew and Dale Chase yesterday at the Bay Area Maker Faire. There over 9000 excellent projects, kits, and contraptions — though I couldn’t track down a Drink Shield despite asking all over. I was fortunate enough, however, to meet Eben and Liz of Raspberry Pi fame.
The ‘Pi is the DIY hardware that has most excited me since the Arduino. It is an ARM-based GNU/Linux computer for $25, and is only slightly bigger than a credit card (in 2D space). I’m looking forward to playing with one in the future. These things sell out faster than Shmoocon barcodes.

Lët’z Hack! is a radio show and podcast run by hackers at the syn2cat hackerspace in Luxembourg. They featured us on episode 14, Welcome, to the World of Tomorooooowwww! ™, and gave a shout-out to my home hackerspace, Hive13. The listing on the page shows the song played as Letter to c64, but they actually played our song Forever.
