At GitHub Universe, Simon Willison discovered that conference attendee Steve Francia built NES and Game Boy/Color emulators for the event's programmable conference badge. This allows attendees to run classic games like The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening on the badge, which features a color screen and touch buttons that work when turned upside down.
Background
