On "Game Boy Color on My Conference Badge"

This is a neat hack but it points to something more practical: conference badges as functional dev toys are actually smart vendor strategy. They're not novelty—they're engagement devices that get handed to your exact target audience and stay in their hands for hours, turning passive attendees into active tinkerers. If you're thinking about conference sponsorship or badging, this is the move: make it playable, make it hackable, make it memorable. Boring badges disappear. Ones with Game Boy emulators get tweeted about for months.
