I think that is just building something from parts. A hack implies something ultra rigged and ugly looking.

- ableal 17y agoI was taking it in the "not the intended use" sense, like the posted clips. And I 'll disagree that a good hack must look ugly ... for example, yesterday's beautiful Turing machine is a hack in my book. The stand's not my idea, anyway. Posted because of the title, someone else might like it. I'm alright ;-)
- ableal 17y agoAs long as I'm "selling" IKEA stuff (I wish, I just give them money ;-): in their kitchen area, there's a Dralla "cutting board". This is a pleasant piece of flexible matte plastic, a couple of millimeters thick, about the size of two sheets of paper, with rounded corners; I've seen it in dark-gray, blue and red. I use the Dralla as a writing pad, on the desk; some people seem to like it as a giant mouse-pad. (Not in the photo, the red thing is a thicker, smaller, unused mouse-pad.)
