Computer hacking takes on a whole new meaning when you're going at it with a screwdriver and hammer: announcing the most wildly inventive, eco-friendly craft book on repurposing everyday objects since Generation T. Except in this case the raw material isn't a T-shirt, but the stuff we all have lying around and have no idea what to do with, or even how to get rid of properly - your old cell phone, a broken printer, irredeemable iPod, busted digital camera, mysterious thatches of cables and wires, orphaned keyboards, and of course, those dead PCs and laptops. Created by a Parsons design graduate who's obsessed with navigating the intersection of art and technology, here are 62 ingenious projects that are irresistibly geek-chic. An iMac Terrarium - how cool is that? A laptop Digital Photo Frame. The impressively green Scanner Compost Bin. Plus a power strip Bird Feeder, Walkman Soap Dish, My First Squiggle Bot, Qwerty Hair Tie, Flat-screen Ant Farm. Each project has complete, step-by-step instructions, is rated by difficulty - in a thorough first chapter the author covers all the tools and skills needed to take apart electronics safely - and is arranged by use, from stuff for the house, to fashion, toys, arts and crafts, items for pets, and more.

Habe mir das Buch bestellt, nachdem ich eine Rezension und ein Beispiel (Verstärker) im Internet gesehen habe. Doch leider ist der Gebrauchswert nicht allzu hoch und die meisten Werke sehr freakig, z.B. die Accessoires und Deko-Objekte.

Good stuff!

The first few pages contain information useful for a "new to electronics" person--things like resistor color code and what to do with capacitors.
While there is a temptation to consider this a manual for electronic scavengers, I think it works on a couple of deeper levels.
First, it opens the door to electronics as an art form; you can take old parts and create something that doesn't use electricity at all. You can make things that are useful or just interesting. All things don't have to have a practical function--or be beautiful. Conversation pieces are good for--conversation-- (something we may have to work harder at as face to face communication is replaced by electronic gizmos).
Second, this book makes us think about all the good stuff that we throw away just because it gets erratic or outmoded.
To sum it up, this is a good book for the artist, for the electronic beginner or the person concerned about trashing things rather than finding a new purpose.

Entertaining look at recycling with a light hearted outlook

After being told for many years "what are you going to do all that stuff" I found an answer in this book. I have been in electronics since 1970 in high school and have "collected more than my share of items "needed to be fixed". This book makes a step towards the answers. Many of the "projects" are silly, but I guess that is the point. IT CAN ALWAYS BE USED. Turns out it is a great coffee table book for the geek in me.

Completely underwhelming
17. September 2012
Von Jim Giarrusso

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I was not expecting such a basic, non-technical book for used computer parts. The target audience must have been preschool daycampers. When it says you'll learn to make a pencil sharpener out of a computer mouse, you'll be disappointed to find you have to go to a store and get a pencil sharpener, then stick it inside the mouse.
