Josef Carl Engressia, Jr., more commonly known as Joybubbles, was a blind man who had perfect pitch and at the age of seven, accidentally discovered he could mimic the noise required to activate phone switches. He was essentially one of the world's first hackers and dabbled in phreaking, or phone hacking, but soon abandoned it after being charged and given a suspended sentence.
He finished his life in Minnesota as an avid Mr. Roger's fan.
