Jeri Ellsworth has been widely known in retrogaming circles as a hardware wizard on platforms such as the C64, VIC-20, and ZX81. Beyond that, she's built a career on designing computer chips and systems for large companies as well as fun gaming projects.

In this episode of Hungry Trilobyte, Jeri settles in for a conversation about the current dismal state of the tech industry (my words, not hers) and how her optimism and creativity might point us geeks in the direction of better days ahead. Just as an example, she tells us about Tilt Five and her venture into Augmented Reality.
