A digitally rendered, over-enthusiastically remote-flashed image of a decidedly low-tech camera: The trusty Argus C3.
Close up of volume control showing various leads and passive components .
Note the connections like the resistor leads are mechanicaly sound (ie wrapped around the tags) then soldered.
Quality.

Mattel Target display hack.
I wanted some Monster High bleacher benches, like the ones in the Target display, so I made some. I hope you like.
I picked this guy up at a garage sale for $1.00 and decided to finally bring him back to life; here I've hooked him up to an older ATX computer power supply to supply the ~5V, instead of wasting 4x 1.5V AA batteries. I also have an iDog in many pieces (somewhere on my desk) awaiting this hack.
When I connected his positive lead with the alligator clip it gave a little spark and a quick jolt to life! (dirty connection)
Note: using these 20 (or 24) pin ATX power supplies, you have to ground the green wire to switch-on the internal relay and complete the circuit. Thus, the fan kicks on, and all the leads supply power to the hard drives, etc. I didn't have an AT power supply on hand with the simpler on/off switch. In storage I have a few, however.

The Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker is a former government-owned nuclear bunker located at Hack Green, Cheshire, England.
The first military use of the area was in World War II, when a Starfish site was established at Hack Green. Its purpose was to confuse Luftwaffe bombers looking for the vital railway junction at Crewe.
A Ground-controlled interception (GCI) radar station was added.
In the 1950s, the site was modernised as part of the ROTOR project. This included the provision of a substantial semi-sunk reinforced concrete bunker or blockhouse (type R6).
The station, officially designated RAF Hack Green, was also known as Mersey Radar. It provided an air traffic control service to military aircraft crossing civil airspace.
The site was abandoned and remained derelict for many years, until the Home Office took it over. They rebuilt the R6 bunker as a Regional Government Headquarters (RGHQs) - one of a network of 17 such sites throughout the UK - designed to enable government to continue in the aftermath of a major nuclear attack on the UK.
In about 1992, following the end of the Cold War, the Home Office abandoned its network of RGHQs and sold many of the sites. This one was bought by a private company and subsequently opened to the public in 1998 as a museum with a Cold War theme.
The bunker is open to the public most of the year. It has a substantial collection of military and Cold War memorabilia, including one of the largest collections of decommissioned nuclear weapons in the world. It also houses Ballistic Missile Early Warning System equipment originally from RAF High Wycombe.
The museum includes information about the function of the bunker during the Cold War. There is a simulator designed to simulate conditions in the bunker during a nuclear attack.
If all of the missiles at Hack Green were armed, the base alone would be the 7th biggest Nuclear Power in the world.

Cantex hack. F-mount body cap and a lens off an old compact camera epoxied together. The crude putty is there in hope of stabilizing the thing and offering better light (and dust) seal. The aperture ring still turns, to my surprise. Haven't tried taking it apart from the top now that the bottom is glued down.
You can follow my cantex tags to find images taken through this.
Appin (Scottish Gaelic: An Apainn) is a remote coastal district of the Scottish West Highlands bounded to the west by Loch Linnhe, to the south by Loch Creran, to the east by the districts of Benderloch and Lorne, and to the north by Loch Leven. It lies north-east to south-west, and measures 14 miles (23 km) in length by 7 miles (11 km) in breadth. The district is mainly in Argyll and Bute, with a coastal strip to the north, along Loch Leven, within the Highland council area.
For most, hacking symbolizes breach of space exclusive to one’s self. Some even brand these hackers as terrorists who roam the digital world. But there are always two sides to a coin.
A bit of an odd photo here, so possibly some background to explain it may help...!
A few months ago books were being discussed on a forum, and I posted a photo of my slightly excessive collection of O'Reilly "Hacks" books - at the time there were 12 of them, having started off with Amazon Hacks a few years ago and being very impressed with the way the books are written and presented - that lead me on to getting more, and they've sort of become an essential part of my collection of books.
The two new additions today are Flickr Hacks (well what else, I just had to get that didn't I?!) and Digital Photography Hacks - I've been meaning to get them for a while but the recent fascination with Flickr and wanting to improve my photography skills made it the time for me to finally place the order on Amazon!
A lot of people see the "Hacks" name and think they're going to be the stereotypical "haxor" sort of hacking, breaking in to secure systems and the like, but they're really not like that - as the publishers website says at oreilly.com/hacks/ the books in the series "reclaim the term 'hacking' for the good guys--innovators who explore and experiment, unearth shortcuts, create useful tools, and come up with fun things to try on their own".
An excellent series from a book publisher which every computery person (is that really the best phrase I can think of to describe us?! doh...) must have at least one of their books somewhere in their collection!
Update: I don't feel my collection of Hacks books is that excessive after seeing the photos from fellow Flickr user Brian Sawyer:

Now that's a lot of books!
