DEFCON Badge Designer Joe Grand's TV Show Premiers Wednesday Oct. 15!
As many of you may know, the unique electronic badges for DEFCON (since DC14) are designed by the illustrious Joe "Kingpin" Grand. Formerly a member of the hacker group L0pht Heavy Industries and currently the brain behind Grand Idea Studios and The Kingpin Empire, Joe also has a new TV show called "Prototype This" premiering this Wednesday, October 15th on the Discovery Channel at 10pm eastern time.
The premise -- A team of four super smart guys with varying electronics and engineering backgrounds come up with and prototype crazy one-of-a-kind inventions on the cutting edge of technology in a limited time frame.
