Well, I did the Wii Twilight Princess saved-game hack. ITs very simple and does not require any hardware modding at all. I am very hopeful this grows and does not get stopped by Nintendo.

Photo is 6 images stitched together (I don't own a wide angle lens so thank you 50mm xD)
The goal was to create a super wide and cheap APS camera.
Step 1: Take a Canon IXUS FF - file down and glue on a 67-72mm filter step-up ring - paint black to hide all the messy glue (and also to cut down on internal reflections?).
Step 2: Screw on a 0.43x wide angle converter lens that I found for a few pounds on ebay.
Step 3: Realise that you just more than doubled the camera's weight (175g -> 400g!)
Step 4: Shoot and pray it worked out OK.
It came out with a focal length of about 25mm (35mm equivalent) which isn't bad. The bonus is that you get the macro lens thrown in (by unscrewing the wide angle bit).

9. Flickr Friends (formerly Flickr Stalkr). Flickr Friends got off to a rough start originally at Flickr. Developed by James Newbery it was initially named Flickr Stalkr and well, that just didn't sound right and so they saw themselves get nipped in the bud early on. Subsequently though the site relaunched as Flickr Friend Finder and is a way for you to find all of your friends (or ex-girlfriends, opps, did I just say that too?) on Flickr. With Flickr Friend Finder you simply enter in a string of email addresess (or upload your address book to them) and they will return back to you everyone who is on Flickr. You can then add them as friends to make sure to keep tabs on what they are up to photographically speaking. James has the following privacy statement up on his site:
"Your addresses will not be stored anywhere, read by anyone, or made accessible to anyone. Any file you upload will be deleted from the server immediately."
...of course it's up to you whether or not you think it's a good idea or right to use your friend's email addresses this way.

Adding a hatchet to the "Pecking Mechanism" to make a 2-piece action model. I will try to post a video clip showing the model in action. Presently, my right hand is too weak to hold up the hatchet...what the hack!
Diagrams for the "Pecking Mechanism" are posted earlier here - www.flickr.com/photos/61236172@N08/14051033369/
The hatchet is from a 2x1 duo-coloured paper-backed foil [15cm x 7.5cm] and is attached to the "Pecking Mechanism" without glue. The lock is not very strong and I will need to improve on it before I can do the video clip. There are no diagrams for folding the hatchet but it is a very simple model similar to the one that comes with the heart, posted as "Ex-Lover" here - www.flickr.com/photos/61236172@N08/6992811394/
