Hacker / Hacking Hack A Day

Hackers and hacking is often viewed in a negative manner.  Most associated with breaching security systems and DNS hacks.  Question, is there such a thing as a good hack / hacker?  I suppose the answer is yes to a point.

I found a website / blog called Hack A Day.  As the title implies each day hacks are uploaded to the site in various categories.  These are pretty interesting.  For example framing an electronics project, or using a suitcase to house a retro style gaming console.  Another interesting idea is a 3D drawing pen.

So you see there are some good ideas out there.  And as I mentioned hacking is good to a point and that point is when the hack is one that causes problems not solutions like the ones mentioned above.  Anyway my goal here is to talk about a blog or Montreal not to discuss ethics.  So besides the hacks mentioned on the site, there are forums, a place to shop and if you feel so inclined you can contact the Hack A Day staff.

Hack A Day is on the web at http://hackaday.com/
