"They're net-savvy, small-scale producers, creating ice cream at home, smoking salmon in sheds – and making great food."

Design and print custom pocket notebooks.

"The software [Canon Hack Development Kit] has allowed photographers using more than 50 models of Canon PowerShot cameras to reprogram the time lapse instructions to record construction projects or to use motion-sensing programs to capture animals in the deep woods. It can also be used to alter the camera’s exposure control to produce imaginative images in difficult lighting."

"Jane was studying product design at RCA London when she had an idea: "I don't want to buy new stuff all the time. I want to hack the stuff I already have so it works better for me." So she phoned some clever materials scientists called Ian and Steve and together they invented an interesting new material for hacking things better."

"A collection of libraries I have written to use within the Arduino programming environment in conjunction with the Ethernet shield."

"A workshop and performance. It involves people from all walks of life making electronic sounds with one another, out in the world and in the open air."

"A TubeSat is designed to function as a Basic Satellite Bus or as a simple stand-alone satellite. Each TubeSat kit includes the satellite's structural components, safety hardware, solar panels, batteries, power management hardware and software, transceiver, antennas, microcomputer, and the required programming tools. With these components alone, the builder can construct a satellite that puts out enough power to be picked up on the ground by a hand-held amateur radio receiver."

"Helps you easily make interactive arts and craft. You can quickly make a bracelet that changes color when shaken, a pet collar that blinks in the dark, or a dress that twinkles when you get a phone call. Weave it into tapestry, or make a custom bike light."

"A very low cost open source autonomous blimp. It consists of an Arduino-based blimp controller board with on-board infrared and ultrasonic sensors and an interface for an optional RC mode, a simple gondola with two vectoring (tilting) differential thrusters, and ground-based infrared beacon."

Sells small, low-power, reasonably cheap headless boxes.

"An evolving index of practical subjects for the Arduinotm and Freeduino microcontrollers"

"For our first hack day, I put together a list of “tools for non-developers”—sites, services and software that could be used for hacking without programming knowledge as a pre-requisite. Here’s the list so far."

"Social networking for your toaster". Heh. A "web platform for remote control and monitoring".

"Instead of printing on bits of paper this 3D printer makes real, robust, mechanical parts. To give you an idea of how robust, think Lego bricks and you're in the right area. You could make lots of useful stuff, but interestingly you could also make most of the parts to make another 3D printer. That would be a machine that could copy itself." Want.

"MagCloud enables you to publish your own magazines. All you have to do is upload a PDF and we'll take care of the rest: printing, mailing, subscription management, and more."

Ooooh. "Thingiverse is a place for you to share your digital designs with the world. We believe that just as computing shifted away from the mainframe into the personal computer that you use today, digital fabrication will share the same path."

"A full reproduction of the original Roland TB-303 [...] The x0xb0x will never become 'discontinued,' because it is fully documented and released (under an appropriate open-source license). The PCB files (schematic, board, BOM and gerbers), firmware, software and panel DXFs are available for download. "

"The mouse will scurry to the treat (they like tunnels) and fall into the trap."

"You can go either of two ways to replace your Ipod battery: have Apple replace your battery for you for $99 or you can do it yourself for $29."
