The new era of circuits we can all build and re-use inspire a welcome sigh of relief for someone who has spent so many years breaking and reverse engineering closed circuitry. This is the fascinating tale about why a hardware hacker would be happy to give up her title for a new model of openness, sharing, distribution, and business. Topics include: the craziness of open source hardware licensing, her own bizarre genetic predisposition to circuit creation, and a futurist's unwavering hope for an infinitely hackable present.
