Benjamin J. Heckendorn (born October 19, 1975) is an American console modder and Internet celebrity. He is better known as "Ben Heck" on the Internet. Heckendorn is also an independent film maker and star of element14's The Ben Heck Show, a popular online TV program. He has two podcasts, one which he runs with the help of a friend, Jason Jones,〔http://www.benheckpodcast.com〕 and the other on Warpath.TV with George Force, Mike Zucker, and Anthony Carboni.〔http://www.sonicboompodcast.com〕 Most of Heckendorn's mods are done by taking apart old video game consoles such as the Atari 2600 and Nintendo Entertainment System. He then reconfigures internal printed circuit board (PCB) into a smaller form factor. The newly configured circuit board is enclosed within a custom case (done by a CNC machine) and any peripherals are assembled by Heckendorn. His creations have been featured in such publications as ''Wired'', ''Popular Science'', and ''Maxim'', and on television shows such as ''TechTV'', ''The Screen Savers'', ''Attack of the Show!'' and ''X-Play''. His mods are also commonly presented on high popularity blogs such as Engadget.〔http://www.engadget.com/tag/BenHeck/〕 ==History== He had an interest in electronic and video games as a child, as a young man in film-making and in later life whilst working as a graphic artist he made a GeoCities site covering his project to make a portable Atari 2600, this led to an appearance in 2004 on The Screen Savers (following the temporary injury of the normal maker Yoshi) and then to a book deal and requests for custom electronics creations to YouTube videos in 2010. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Benjamin Heckendorn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
