Technology is Not Magic - bunnie Huang, Bitmark Ambassador #2

Via Bunnie Huang on Twitter:

If we believe technology is magic, we risk becoming slaves to it.

Watch @BitmarkInc’s video on why I’m passionate about open source. The world depends on technology; thus, free will depends on open source. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFrTJPfM58s

Bitmark publishes a YouTube video with bunnie discussing open source, learning, and more:

Andrew “bunnie” Huang, hacker and open source hardware innovator, Singapore. Best known for his work hacking the Microsoft Xbox and efforts in designing open source hardware, including the Chumby (app-playing alarm clock), Chibitronics (peel-and-stick electronics for craft), and Novena (DIY laptop), Huang received his PhD in Electrical Engineering from MIT in 2002. He currently runs a private product design studio, Kosagi, and actively mentors several startups and students of the MIT Media Lab.

  1. Coincidentally, I’m waiting on a PyPortal delivery today that I’m going to try and mount in an old Chumby.

    I’m hoping to draw power over the Chumbilical, as well as send the audio through it to the back speakers.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
