Our guest this week is Zach Supalla, the Founder and CEO of Spark. Spark is a complete, open source, full stack solution for creating amazing internet connected things.

It's fully open source on GitHub from hardware to software and Zach goes deep in this episode to school us on everything we need to know.

We talk about making connected hardware easier, using Kickstarter to fund hardware projects, and Amazon's new Dash Button. Zach also gave us a crash course on how to get started with making your own hardware.
