This week is a visit with part of the "extended family"; in this case, an interview with Tom Zicarelli - brother of David Z, but a mad inventor in his own right. Tom is a musician/educator/hacker in the best sense of all these words, and I thought he'd be able to give us some insights on system interfaces that we've not yet heard. And I was right: from Ruby scripting to Pd on a Raspberry Pi, we get a little info on everything. This was probably the easiest interview I've given, because there was a lot to talk about - but also Tom is a very laid back guy, and the conversation has more of a conversational (rather than interviewer-ly) tone to it. I hope you enjoy, and aren't overly distracted by the insertion of some of my troubles into the discussion!
