Reader Reviews
I waited for this book after seeing his remote controlled weed-eater in Popular Science. I was extremely dissapointed with the content of this book. There are a lot of good ideas, but the best ones are not doucumented enough for the novice to pull off the hack. Buy Home Hacking Projects For Geeks instead, it details some good hacks from start to finish, not this book's stupid infantile projects.
