Hack a Day
Still looking for that perfect gift? [Joel Witwer] shows us how to make a log coaster set and holder on the cheap. He figures he spent just $5 on the project and from what we can tell that all went to some polyurethane which he used to finish the wood pieces. It started with an interesting-looking and [...]

Chaos Communication Congress 23th (23C3) 2006 Abstract: This paper will dive into this complex questionmark through a comparison between primitive hunter-gatherer societies and the everyday life-world of FOSS. The discussion will focus on the thesis that FOSS practice is based on social sharing and not on processes of exchange. This will entail a negation of the paradigm of economic logic and instead pull a quest for valuable relationships to the forefront of the FOSS sociality. It seems to be accepted that there exists strong similarities between archaic societies and the present day world of FOSS. At first people might wonder how it is possible to compare the exchange of shell-necklaces with binary code running on a x86 CPU. Then, after explaining the basic principles of gift-giving and reciprocity the same people suddently understand that "we're all" part of a gift economy. When "we all" take part in the use and development of FOSS we're at the same time part in a complex structure of exchange relations. These exchange relations are driven by a coupling of reciprocity with an economic logic which promotes that individual benifit is greater through free giving and subsequent recieving. But, what if this is a wrong and faulty notion? One essential element seems to be missing - when you look closer at the everyday practice - then what is being transacted, were are the transactions, or economical processes of exchange? This paper will dive into this complex questionmark through a comparison between primitive hunter-gatherer societies and the everyday life-world of FOSS. The discussion will focus on the thesis that FOSS practice is based on social sharing and not on processes of exchange. This will entail a negation of the paradigm of economic logic and instead pull a quest for valuable relationships to the forefront of the FOSS sociality. The distinction drawn between the commonly known and widely accepted notion of gift economy and social sharing needs substantiation. The basic principle of the 'gift' is; that the continuing exchange of gifts underlies all our social structures and interactions. Gifts are in this sense likewise tangible and non-tangible artifacts, spanding from food to symbols and metaphysic concepts - and all have in common that they are culturally produced. The principle itself rests on the simple process that the giving of a gift requires the reciever to reciprocate via giving a gift in return and the giver is required to recieve. This exchange of gifts again changes the positions and transforms the singular situation into an ongoing social process of exchange between 'partners', and systems of reciprocity emerge. Hereby establishing lasting and strong social bond, or valuable relationship, between individuals and groups. But, there is one major problem with the domnant interpretations of the principle of the 'gift', then it is quickly combined into the concept of; gift economy. This might not be a problem if the term is placed solitarily within strict ethnographic analysis of "primitive pre-economic societies", though as soon as it enters modern realms it translates 'gifts' into 'commodities'. Commodities are by nature different from gifts, then they are valued in terms of monetary transactions and not as representations of relationships. The world of FOSS is not directed at creation of commodities, and profit maximization, though as I point out, neither is it clearly an expression of 'gift economy' (in the original sense).

Hack a Day
[Superluminal] received an invite to his friend’s wedding. He got together with some mutual acquaintances to take up a collection as a wedding gift. But as things go, a suitable present couldn’t be found. The pooled money itself ended up being the gift, but apparently a greeting card with a money pocket inside of it [...]

Although [Danman] was right on time with his home-hacked Valentines day gift, this article comes to you a little late. With the message on the heart changed, however, it could be a perfect “Sorry I forgot Valentines Day again” gift, so it may still be useful. The concept isn’t that complicated, simply a strip of [...]

[form], a new user on the Hack a Day forums, was thinking, “what Christmas present i can send a friend, that would be really annoying?” We think he really hit it out of the park with this one. It’s a modified computer speaker that will play “explicit” audio until the power button is pressed 200 [...]

If you haven’t yet wrapped up your Christmas shopping, you may want to consider building [AlanFromJapan’s] implementation of the ever-classic “Clapper”. With its theme song burned into the brain of anyone old enough to remember the 80s, the clapper was a wonderful device that certainly put the “L” in laziness. Looking for an excuse to play [...]

You all know that person. The one who picks up every present with their name on it, shaking it before busting into their best Carnac the Magnificent impression. Heck, you might even be that person. [Jason] was thinking about how to combat the gift shaker in his life and put together a simple prank that’s [...]

While this year’s Christmas lists are dominated by electronic gadgets and other mass-produced toys, it wasn’t always like that. We’re not trying to sound like the old man yelling at the neighborhood kids to get off his lawn, but many of today’s gifts lack the personal touch found in old, hand-made toys. [henlij’s] son is [...]

Instructables user [Simon] admits he addicted to electronics. Lucky for him, his wife of 15 years is pretty cool with, or at least tolerant of his need to fiddle with anything that plugs in. As a gift for their wedding anniversary, he decided it would be neat to combine his love for his wife with [...]

This is the reverse geocache box that [William Dillon] built as a Christmas gift this year. He started with an interestingly shaped wooden box from the craft store. The clasp to keep it shut uses a servo motor on the lid with a wooden arm that grasps a screw on the base. As with the [...]

Okay, it’s more like the 23 days but who’s counting? [Kliment] is giving the gift of self-replication this holiday season by uploading one new printable part a day. If you follow along and print each one you’ll have a Prusa Mendel by Christmas (this started on 12/2 so you’ll need to catch up). The Prusa [...]

Nothing Earth-shattering here. Just, dare we say it, really cute!
The venerable Altoids mint tin has become an icon of the maker culture. Browsing through past articles on Hack a Day, Adafruit or Instructables, you’ll find project after project for which these pocket-sized enclosures provided just the right fit. Eminently practical, affordable, but the aesthetics have occasionally left something [...]
