Follower admits some responsibility for integrating certain networking and USB technologies into the Arduino ecosystem. He has a particular interest in the intersection of software, hardware, craft and art. He is currently visiting the country to teach an introductory Arduino workshop at a large US tech conference. Occasionally he can be heard mumbling how Tim O'Reilly once called him a "troublemaker" for his Google Maps reverse engineering. He is also co-founder of Spacecraft--a New Zealand Hackerspace--and gets the blame for kicking off events that lead to its establishment.
