hacking technology: O'Reilly's MAKE magazine

[Robert Alexander]

New from Tim O'Reilly.

"Reality is catching up with science fiction, thanks in a large part 
to DIY technologies. Tim O'Reilly identifies the laboratory and 
garage projects that promise to change the way we live."

There seem's to be some cool stuff here, for example:

The Open Source Car: a Design Brief
  The time is right for a true people's hybrid vehicle. The web is 
peppered with how-to sites for converting your old car into an 
electric vehicle, but why not develop SourceForge-style documentation 
for an open source hybrid?

or:

Hacking the Dog
  Who says you have to spend thousands of dollars to get a cool robot? 
The world's toy stores brim with cheap-ass, rough and ready robotic 
platforms just begging to be modded. Meet a hacker who converts toy 
robots into toxic waste dump avengers
