“ Don't worry if a project doesn't seem to be on the path to some goal you're supposed to have. Paths can bend a lot more than you think. So let the path grow out the project. The most important thing is to be excited about it, because it's by doing that you learn. ”— What You'll Wish You'd Known

“ Just pick a project that seems interesting: to master some chunk of material, or to make something, or to answer some question. Choose a project that will take less than a month, and make it something you have the means to finish. Do something hard enough to stretch you, but only just, especially at first. If you're deciding between two projects, choose whichever seems most fun. If one blows up in your face, start another. Repeat till, like an internal combustion engine, the process becomes self-sustaining, and each project generates the next one. (This could take years.) ”— What You'll Wish You'd Known
“ I think a society in which people can do and say what they want will also tend to be one in which the most efficient solutions win, rather than those sponsored by the most influential people. Authoritarian countries become corrupt; corrupt countries become poor; and poor countries are weak. ”— The Word "Hacker"

“ When choosing an idea for your project it doesn't have to be hugely innovative, it just needs to make it possible for you to be innovative in every step of the way when realizing it. ”— Eskil Steenberg

inspiration“— HOPE 2008: Community Fabrication - Hack a Day
Today at The Last HOPE, [Far McKon] from Philadelphia's Hacktory presented on community fabrication. Over the last few years we've seen a lot of different accessible rapid prototyping machines created. There's the RepRap, a fabrication machine that has achieved self replication; our friends at Metalab have gotten their own version of the machine running too. The Hacktory has recently acquired a Fab@home machine. Fab@home hopes to make manufacturing using multiple materials accessible to home users. Multiple materials means people have constructed objects that vary from embedded circuits to hors d'oeuvres. We can't talk about edible prototyping without bringing up the CandyFab machine, which fuses sugar. The Hacktory has enjoyed their machine so far, but have found the learning curve fairly difficult. While it's great to see the cost of rapid prototyping dropping, we'll be much happier when the ease of use improves. ”

wizard23“ nearly every geek social group of significant size has at least one member that 80% of the members hate, and the remaining 20% merely tolerate. If [the opinion that "ostracizers are evil"] exists in sufficient concentration -- and it usually does -- it is impossible to expel a person who actively detracts from every social event. ”— Five Geek Social Fallacies

“ In 1989 a great tradition started with GHP (Galactic Hacker Party), which continued four years later in 1993 with HEU (Hacking at the End of the Universe), HIP (Hacking In Progress) in 1997, HAL (Hacking At large) in 2001 and finally WTH (What The Hack) in 2005. We want to continue this tradition in 2009 with another great outdour hacker event. ”— WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT HAR2009 - in the tradition of What The Hack
