Description

Hackaday Editors Elliot Williams and Al Williams reflect on the fact that, as humans, we have--at most--two eyes and no warp drives. While hacking might not be the world's most dangerous hobby, you do get to work with dangerous voltages, temperatures, and frickin' lasers. Light features prominently, as the guys talk about LED data interfaces, and detecting faster-than-light travel.

There's also a USB sniffer, abusing hot glue, and some nostalgia topics ranging from CRT graphics to Apollo workstations (which have nothing directly to do with NASA). The can't miss articles this week cover hacking you and how you make the red phone ring in the middle of a nuclear war.

Check out the links if you want to follow along, and as always, tell us what you think about this episode in the comments!
