Jeri Ellsworth with modified Commodore-64 bass guitar at 2012 Maker Faire Bay Area

Описание: I had most fortunate opportunity to interview Jeri Ellsworth who modified a Commodore 64 into a bass guitar (at the time she didn't know she was a featured Maker at http://blog.makezine.com/2012/05/19/j... ). Jeri also said she was up until 3 am Thursday tuning her instrument (there's always last minute fixes before a trade show).

Jeri Ellsworth is a circuit designer, this Commodore 64 was her first computer. She has many projects discussed on her youtube site,    / jeriellsworth   all are excellent tutorials.

I didn't get Jeri's autograph but I got a pic with her, http://www.flickr.com/photos/45676693... (yes, I know the pic didn't turn out that great and video needs fill light). Jeri Ellsworth is someone to pay attention as she has extensive engineering talent and always approached for consulting and interviews.

Jeri Ellsworth is featured in this article, in 2012 she took a position at Valve:

For fans of Jeri, here is an interview article of the company she works with:

"We'll hire anyone who walks through the door who can pass our review process. The problem is very few people can do that successfully."
"But people we want to work with, we'll try hiring them for years."
