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.
