I hate featuring feeds. There are better ways to view your feeds like Google Reader. So needless to say the feeds better be darn interesting to make the cut. Luckily Hack a Day is just that interesting.

Now I know that when you here Hack you think of Computer viruses and whatnot. I can assure you that this couldn’t be farther from the point of Hack a Day. Instead it defines hacks more as things that are “rigged together”. Now I guess I have to define what I mean by “rigged together”. Basically I mean making more use out of things than they would be right out of the box. For example one of the first posts I saw was one on how someone made a portable Nintendo Wii. While I may not necessarily be making a portable Wii myself I still find it interesting that someone had the ingenuity to make it. Another cool article was basically a discussion on whether or not you can make a DTV converter box do anything other than what was intended. While I cannot understand much of what the comments are talking about, I could tell that they were exchanging some interesting ideas.

As I have said before feedburner (which Hack a Day uses) has by far the best design for Google Gadgets. It takes up the minimum amount of space possible. Also at the same time you can read a summary and little details about the post by pressing the expand button next to the link. So why not throw Hack a Day on your iGoogle page and see what hackers are up to.
