Hackaday Supercon 2022: Joe 'Kingpin' Grand - Fresh Beats: Creating The World's Thinnest Boombox

Joe [Kingpin] Grand is a computer engineer, hardware hacker, product designer, teacher, daddy, honorary doctor, occasional YouTuber, creator of the first electronic badges for DEFCON, and former technological juvenile delinquent.

Bringing back the best part of the 1980s (besides bulletin board systems), Joe Grand set out to create "The World's Thinnest Boom Box," an open source, Raspberry Pi-based music player complete with custom artwork, capacitive touch sensing buttons, and ultra-thin piezo speaker elements.
