Tom was weaned on the flickering light of the MS-DOS prompt, but didn’t see the true path until somebody handed him a Slackware install disc in high school. Since then, Tom has been a passionate supporter of open source hardware and software, and believes the free exchange of information is the cornerstone to any successful endeavour. While Tom has contributed to and developed a number of open source projects, a desire for getting his hand’s dirty kept him away from a career in software development. At the crossroads of open source and hardware tinkering Tom found a new obsession in 3D printing, and most of his recent exploits have involved finding ways to capitalize on this exciting new era of home manufacturing. When he isn’t printing, Tom is usually tinkering with embedded Linux, wireless technology, quadcopters, and anything else sufficiently indistinguishable from magic.
