Mr. Robot’s tech guru: “My job is to outsmart this hive of geniuses” | Ars Technica: "Mr. Robot staff writer and technical producer Kor Adana doesn't sleep much (four and a half hours is realistic while in the midst of production). Part of that comes from sheer volume of work. Adana holds the high-profile role of coming up with the show's famed hacks. He's involved in everything from generating an idea and recruiting consultants through the feasibility testing and onscreen portrayal. The entire process can take three or four months for a mere three or four seconds on-screen. "

Art imitates life.

Vale, LOGO creator Seymour Papert, who taught us that code can be creative play • The Register: "Just over a decade ago some clever folks in Italy put together the Arduino, a credit-card sized board powered via USB and programmed with an IDE that borrows a lot from Processing, a programming language designed to make it easy to write interactive applications. As soon as I heard about Arduino, I ordered one, and not very long after Arduino number 435 arrived, I had it blinking an LED - the ‘Hello, World’ of hardware."

That's what I'm talking about blinky.
