People are an endless source of wonder

Open something up for people to look at and inevitably someone will start tinkering and come up with something new. Sure, there are an endless supply of new gadgets produced by any number of companies every day (see engadget for starters). But its the regular folks tinkering in their basements and garages that come up with sometimes useless, sometimes wonderful but always interesting inventions that surprise me. Check out hackaday. I'm going to have to try hooking up my gps to Sam's gameboy. A fine nerdy father and son thing to do.
