Jeri Ellsworth drove me to distraction the moment I saw her and started researching her incredible body (of work) — she’s a hardware hacker and uber-babe best known for creating a Commodore 64 emulator joystick that could run 30 games, and being a self-taught computer chip designer: she taught herself to program by reading the C64’s manual. What’s super cool is that she was a dirt track race car driver as a kid, and now she’s a pinball machine fetishist — and you can see her work on her latest obsession on her Flickr stream, which has lots of knee-weakening images of machine tools. She likes Maker Faire. Drool.
Wayne Campbell: She's a babe.
Garth Algar: She's magically babelicious.
Wayne Campbell: She tested very high on the stroke-ability scale
