If you’ve ever wanted to be MacGyver, let alone kick his wimpy little bum then you need to start hanging out at Hackaday.com.

Hackaday is a great site where actual, real-life people scoff at MacGyver as being a dimwitted, slow wuss. These people can show you how to build your own digital projector on the cheap, show you how to create a remote control submarine (ROV) using PVC and bilge pumps, convert your Mazda Miata into a full electric car or better yet how about turning your kids toy pedal car to a 9 mph powered vehicle using a cordless drill?

Hackaday is another site I visit daily. It is an aggregate site, meaning they link to stories all over the web. Stories about very creative people who do amazingly brilliant hardware or software hacks (that is modifying or making stuff do other stuff). Hackaday summarizes what clever bit someone’s come up with next, showcases it and then sends you over to that person’s site for more details. It’s endlessly entertaining and eye-opening to see how many truly creative people are out there turning something old into something new or making something brilliant from scratch.

Even if you’re not handy a bit you can live vicariously through the people that grace Hackaday’s pages. Go there today and let your eyes fill with wonder all over again! And enjoy the ride!
