A Hack Among Hackers

How did I waste time today? I went to dinner with a friend (which in some professions is refered to I believe as 'socialising') and I pretended to go for a jog (yeah, um, I don't know what you'd actually call it though I'm sure it wasn't actually jogging, more like trotting on a short leash if one's feet lifted a mere 2 inches off the ground and your nan could beat me in a race).

The point of this post is that I am humbled at what can be accomplished by procrastinators with actual skills. And to be clear, I did not find this myself, I just read an email from captain geek.

Go to the awe-inspring Game Grrl and see how someone decided to put off writing their thesis to make their very own portable Nintendo player. And took the time to provide detailed instructions for us to follow her lead. As my geek friend points out, to start, you just dissassemble the Megajoy. Of course you do.

Even better, go to her home page and make halogen bike lights and a portable mp3 player out of an Altoids box! Woah.
