			= What the hell? =

			What the hell will result out of this flurry of wiki activity and time spent gossiping at the hackrrspace on Tuesday nights? Well, hopefully at the very least:
			* admissions of guilt and personal humiliation at not knowing what the hell everything is even though Google has it laid out for me
			* Some kind of guide in the darkness to the amazing set of tools we have for the digitally handicapped such as myself
			* And maybe some fun comics. I think it'd be fun to spice this wiki and blog posts with some kind of personal humiliation.

			Ladies and gentlemen, one cannot simply continue by pretending doing an Arduino tutorial is the real thing as hardware hacking. We have to take these wimpy artist cartoon characters and put them through all sorts of trials and tribulations until they emerge, glistening and gleaming, as people who actually know how to be true hardware hackers! If that means building a Raspberry pi solar panel under the shoulder boulder holders out of recycled activist lace panties, so be it.

			:)

			Let's do our best to make hardware hacking less serious.
