One of the easiest little hacks imaginable!
These started off as a 4-pack of fuzzy ponytail scrunchies from the DollarTree store.
Here's the sort of thing I mean:

All I had to do was to stitch one end closed.
They make a cute hat for a doll with hair, or a fun wig for a lock-less lady.
Oh yeah - a super cheap hack, too, at just 25¢ per! :-D
Clarence Creek Falls, 45 ft. A lot of hacking and whacking through stinging nettles and over unstable ground was required in order to get down to this waterfall. Unfortunately, I did go the wrong way down, making it much tougher on myself than needed. It is a difficult waterfall to photograph. This straight on view was pretty much the only option I had.

Indian actress Kareena Kapoor is rough on the news. However, the child is not the issue, the report said the scale of hacking the news of Kareena. Bollywood actress Kareena two months before the tax return had been trying to hacking. The man was caught by now.
This past weekend, I picked up a Fuji Instax instant film camera and had a blast taking it to parties. There were a few things I've seen that attracted me to this camera. One of them was the incredibly cool instax windows shots by slightlynorth (I'm still experimenting with the concept...nothing too exciting to show yet). Another was the clever hack by the good reverend ogalthorpe to enable off-camera flash.
I sat down last night to do ogalthorpe's hack and got to the point where I needed to saw the "lens" off of the optical trigger. The saw was down in storage and I am eternally lazy, so I started thinking about other ways to hack the camera. I got the idea of trying to install an honest sync port in the thing...something I could plug a pocket wizard in to without the use of the optical trigger. I had an extra mini jack lying around from a previous project, so I started trying to take the camera apart to see if I couldn't find some place to install the thing...why not? I mean I've had the thing for over 48 hours...the novelty has surely worn off by now. ;)
Opening the Instax was a bit of a pain in the ass. I couldn't find any instructions for taking the thing apart on the Internets, so I just had to kinda wing it. I did end up breaking a tab in the process, but nothing a little super glue (or gaffer's tape) can't fix.
After I got the thing open, I was able to find the flash triggering circuit and just barely enough room to accommodate my mini-jack. I soldered an optoisolater across the points to insulate the camera from any crazy sync voltages (just to be safe) and then I drilled a hole in the bottom and installed the mini-jack.
The end result is a fully working flash sync-port on the Instax. :D
The built-in flash still works normally and you still have to cover it with some gaffer's tape if you don't want to use it in the shot. This is my first test shot last night. Exposure issues aside, you can see that both the built in flash and the speedlight I'm holding in my hand are going off. The speedlight is triggered by the pocket wizard connected to the instax.
You can see a shot of the solder points here.
I was bugged by the fully-automatic controls of the Instax. Trying out a Fuji Instax 200 with the guts and lens removed. It's fully manual : you put the film in, cover the light seals with electrical tape. To take a photo, you either cover and uncover the pinhole lens, or use the shutter from the Seagull 6x6 TLR lens. The advantage of the Seagull is that it has an adjustable aperture from f/3.5-22, with speeds from 1/300, 1/125, 1/60, 1/30, 1/15, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1" and Bulb. The pinhole [Loreo "Lens in a Cap"] has apertures of f/5.6-f/64.
The first shot was taken at f/5.6, a quick guess of exposure by flicking the tape on and off -- it was around 1:00PM, so quite bright. The second was at f/5.6, 1/2 second approximation without light meters or anything -- I just guessed, covering the lens opening with my finger.
The lens gets really sharp at f/64.
I need to find a reliable shutter cocking mechanism for the Segull lens, as I currently only use that during night time in a dark enviroment -- I have to take the lens off the body in order to cock it.

The first is blue because of daylight lighting.
The second is red because of incandescent lighting.
I've had neither the time (lie) nor the inclination (truth) to sit down and do any more of these recently and so I'm giving you some old ones for a while. Accept me apology?
This one was taken around the time I discovered the White Balance setting on my camera and thought I was so smart when I changed it. The wrapping paper here was bright silver. The blue is courtesy of Tungsten.

1. The number one hack for Flickr would have to be Flickrleech. Flickrleech is a site developed by Andrew Houser (who is also a kick ass photographer), or simply Houser as he is often called, with the tagline, "because paging sucks."
When Houser released Flickrleech originally it would allow you to pull up any Flickr user's photos as a full page of thumbnails with no pagination. Although very cool, loading up 7,000 thumbnails wasn't exactly the nicest things to do to Flickr's servers and Houser actually changed his site to load 500 thumbnails at a time and today it sits at 200 thumbnails at a time.
Still, having the ability to browse a flickr user's photos at 200 thumbnails at a time is remarkable and allows you more photos on a single page than anything Flickr offers up themselves.
I'm constantly using Flickrleech to check out a new photographer's photos or to rapid fire go through someone's stream.

Bahamian man gets five years in US prison for hacking celebrities
A Bahamian man was sentenced to five years in US jail on Tuesday (Dec 6) for hacking into big names’ email records to take unreleased film and TV scripts, individual data and sexually unequivocal recordings so as to offer...
Great discarded collection of abandoned vehicles on a large farm near Romsey, Victoria, Australia
Amongst all of the mess appears to be a Ford XW or XY wagon (top left), a HD or HR Holden (underneath), possibly a Holden ute (alongside), a mid 1940's Nash or Vanguard (right) and a selection of Holden HQ - HZ doors (front right).
Many thanks to 'Couldn't Call It Unexpected' and '54 Ford Customline' for their help trying to identify these vehicles and associated parts.
Here are some of my favourite Flickr "hacks" (they're toys really) that make photopages work much better. Hover your mouse over the image to see the notes and links (bold text) to the hacks. To use most of them you must first install the Firefox browser (click here) and then GreaseMonkey (click here). There's a group dedicated to them here. I add new hacks all the time, check below for details. Also, if any of you are budding Admins or moderators I have a group that might interest you called Admin Help that, amongst other things explains how to use hacks to run a group.
The police were fairly helpful. They told me Sionis Industries was owned by a man named Roman Sionis, a very powerful business man from where they were from.
He also lead a double life, as a criminal named Black Mask.
They'd also given me a list of his contacts. One was called Queen. Oliver Queen.
I recognised the name, but I had no clue why.
And then it struck me.
Queen Industries.
They were just round the corner.
Time to do some investigating...
I'd hacked into Ollie's computer in his office to see what he knew about Black Mask.
He had a bit of info, his background, allies and all that stuff.
Then I found his location.
He was hiding out in some nearby slums, but if I was to attack him, I'd need to blend in.
How did Queen have so much info?
Anyway, it's time to do some shopping.

Wear a sweater around your waist, sew it to fit, cut it really short and re-attach the trim, turn the sleeves inside out: voila, pockets! I have been watching a lot of Project Runway recently.
