Todd Bailey
Todd Bailey is an embedded systems and analog engineer and professional nerd working in Brooklyn. He pays the bills designing toys, interactive circutits, and occasionally solid state lighting. His corporate clients include Hasbro, Mattel, and Holly Hunt and his artsy fartsy ones including Cory Arcangel, and the City of Chicago Comer Childrens' Hospital. He may very well have designed something you've bent :-)
Lately, however, Todd has been excited about expanding his very specific small world and has started designing open source tools for video and music generation. His most successful work to date has been an 8-bit sampler called "Where's the Party At", and his most recent work has focused on analog color video synthesis.
Todd believes in doing things the hard way. Learning equations, making test jigs, using test equipment, examining disassembly, and taking measurements. His idols include Jim Williams, Bob Widlar, and Tony Stark. When he grows up he wants to be more like Peter Blasser. He holds two patents on sensor based circuit designs (for toys) and has worked on or designed pieces that have been in the Whitney Biennial, Art Basel, and the little girls' aisle at Wal-Mart.
