Product Hacks

Every so often you see people take existing products and technologies, and use them to do something they definitely weren't intended for. Hacking them or pairing them with other products, sometimes the outputs are funny and sometimes they are even better than the original item.

I think its great as it celebrates consumers in control of their products and their creativity, but its also got a bit of geek chic about it.

Here are a few of my favorites. The first is from TED.com talk showing Johnny Lee create a digital white board out of a Wii controller.



Secondly, another Wii one - a perverse experiment to turn a robotic vacuum cleaner back in to a conventional cleaner using blue tooth and Wii remotes.
