At linux.conf.au 2012 I had the good fortune of meeting up with old friends and also making new ones, including the amazingly talented Matt Evans. Matt did a great talk called "Hack Everything: Re-Purposing Everyday Devices", so I caught up with him briefly afterwards to talk to him about it.
Listening to Matt (his presentation or in-person) is pretty inspiring. He demonstrates that with a little perseverance and luck you can learn a lot from making a piece of junk electronics do something new ... and maybe useful.
