I am a bit of a sucker when it comes to alternative computer interfaces so when this article about forearm vibrators translating dialog to the wearer, I wanted to know about it and tell others.
Most of the time I would say that I put function before form but these speakers, which are based on the tapering spiral of shells, were too pretty to ignore. The halves were printed on a consumer-grade printer, and the sand texture does a phenomenal job covering the print layers and hiding imperfections. That is a good hack.
Every contemporary hacker knows what a Pi and Arduino are and many have connected them with a USB cable. It is a logical way to make these powerful, yet inexpensive pieces of hardware talk to one another. One person made an interface board which gives the two boards a place to communicate where their voltage level differences don't matter and software so they can speak the same language.
This was in the Hackaday tip line, and it was roughly six months old, so every other writer there had a chance to see it. It was a diamond that had been passed over because there was no link, it was merely a couple of images someone had posted in a hackaday.io chat. Regardless of the coverage, this was a brilliant solution, and it caught the eye of Hackaday's editor-in-chief, who put his own touches on the article.
I personally enjoy wordplay a great deal. This hack involved tying some unrelated systems together to create a service which would answer single-word text messages with portmanteaus of that word and others which shared the first letters with the last letters. To have some fun, I wrote the article as though it were very important, I mean world-changing, creation..
