The story of Project Blinkenlights

I met Bre Pettis the first time at the third Chaos Communication Camp where he asked me about Project Blinkenlights and how it all came together. Bre is a genuine all-purpose hacker who excels at explaining how stuff works and even more important: how you can do it yourself.

Bre just recently launched a fantastic new TV show called History Hacker (I can only recommend watching the show's pilot episode to get an idea). We recorded a podcast on his work at the 24C3 in Berlin. Bre describes his view of the hacker culture and his motivation to do what he does. Check it out.

Bre has now written a long article about Project Blinkenlights which comes in two parts of which the first has been now posted to his blog: Blinkenlights: The Beginning. I am really looking forward to part two and will tell you when it's available.
