12:17 PM Joybubbles, aka Joe Engressia, is quite possibly the man who arguably first discovered blueboxing, the art of stuffing a 2600 Hz tone into a phone in order to make a free phone call, by blowing a Cap'n Crunch whistle.
I first heard about Joybubbles a number of years ago when I was involved in a local Ham Radio club, and we had to change the roster because the guy changed his name.

 Is VoIP a security risk? - Computer Business Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
When a proto-hacker by the name of Joybubbles discovered in the 1960s that he could get free long distance calls by whistling at a certain frequency into a handset, he set in motion a counterculture that will be bringing the joys of hacking to a VoIP phone near you.
Joybubbles (aka Whistler: Joybubbles is now his real name) was able to pull off that trick because he was blessed with an unusually pitch-perfect whistle, and because AT&T had, not too many years earlier, automated the switching on its network.
If Joybubbles could rip off AT&T four decades ago using only his lips, it is not beyond imagination that the tens or hundreds of thousands of hackers active today will be able to figure out a way to avoid paying Skype or Vonage for their long-distance calls.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…and now the jaws clenched, and the bosoms heaved, and the mascara ran, and the tears fell upon the beglittered gathering like rain leaking down a crystal chandelier, and Mister Rogers finally looked up from his watch and said, "May God be with you" to all his vanquished children.
So the first thing he did was rechristen himself "Joybubbles"; the second thing he did was declare himself five years old forever; and the third thing he did was make a pilgrimage to Pittsburgh, where the University of Pittsburgh's Information Sciences Library keeps a Mister Rogers archive.
It has all 865 programs, in both color and fl and white, and for two months this past spring, Joybubbles went to the library every day for ten hours and watched the Neighborhood's every episode, plus specials—or, since he is blind, listened to every episode, imagined every episode.
