Circuit-Bending: Build Your Own Alien Instruments (ExtremeTech)
Reed Ghazala

Wiley, 2005

You CAN do this!!!
I LOOOOVE this book. It's easy to follow, informative and doesn't insult your intelligence. You'll wonder why you weren't making weird and strange instruments all your life. I thought the book was going to be a bore and hard to get through but boy was I wrong. Mr. ...
  
  











  



  
Project Arcade: Build Your Own Arcade Machine
John St. Clair

Wiley, 2004

Excellent help and source of ideas
This book covered so much more than what I was expecting. If you have never built an arcade cabinet before then I would recommend this book if only to see how many different ways it can be done.
  
  











  



  
Geek My Ride: Build the Ultimate Tech Rod (ExtremeTech)
Auri Rahimzadeh

Wiley, 2005

Made it all look like fun, and very easy to understand
This was awesome - from the intro chapters to the projects, I could get into everything. It was very easy to understand and when spring comes around I'm gonna try it (it's pretty cold right now). I'll definitely get the music-in-car stuff done this winter, but the more ...
  
  











  



  
Hacking World of Warcraft (ExtremeTech)
Daniel Gilbert, James, II Whitehead

Wiley, 2007

Dated - but still terrific!!!
By its very nature, this sort of material is dated by the time it can go to press. That being said, the authors have done an exemplary job of providing material that covers lasting principles, and not specifics that will be immediately invalidated. In addition, ...
  
  











  



  
Hacking MySpace: Mods and Customizations to make MySpace Your Space (ExtremeTech)
John Pospisil

Wiley, 2006

Great book for getting the job done.
I wish I had found this book sooner. I'd spent at least a week surfing the Internet to find more information on how to really tailor MySpace, and this book would have saved me a lot of time. It's appropriate for people who are new to html and CSS, as well as ...
  
  











  



  
Hacking GoogleMaps and GoogleEarth (ExtremeTech)
Martin C. Brown

Wiley, 2006

Already out of date, but still worth the read
Although I really enjoy this book, it's too bad that it's already out of date (as mentioned in other reviews). As someone with very little previous experience with JavaScript, I found this book to be really helpful it describing how to make stuff happen. I ...

Nice reference. Cheap price.
You can find many useful tricks and guides to learn about your PSP. One of the most useful is to learn how to disassemble it. There's a battery charger, and other nice stuff you may not be aware of. Some of the chapters fall on useless tips but...whatever...and ...
  
  











  



  
RFID Toys: 11 Cool Projects for Home, Office and Entertainment (ExtremeTech)

Hacking Ubuntu: Serious Hacks Mods and Customizations (ExtremeTech)
Neal Krawetz

Wiley, 2007

One of the most useful Linux books I own
This book is a gem. Most other Linux books are heavy with theory but don't get you where you need to go. By contrast, this book is chock full of really practical mods (hacks) that are easy to do, yet provide great enhancements to the usability and security of your new ...
  
  











  



  
Hacking Windows Vista: ExtremeTech
Steve Sinchak

Wiley, 2007

A Winner
I bought Hacking Windows Vista to help me make a decision about upgrading to Vista. After reading it, I got more than I bargained for -- it was not just a superficial book dealing with cosmetic changes. It went into depth about making Vista secure, a major concern of ...
  
  











  



  
Geek House: 10 Hardware Hacking Projects for Around Home (ExtremeTech)
Barry Press, Marcia Press

Wiley, 2005

Great Project Frameworks and Ideas
This book is by the authors of PC Toys. The PC Toys projects are relatively easy to implement and spoon feed the reader all the material needed to complete the toys. I think this is an excellent book. I'm very comfortable with software and coding, but not that ...
  
  











  



  
Hacking Roomba: ExtremeTech
Tod E. Kurt

Wiley, 2006

Good book for newbie Roomba hackers and seasoned Roomba entusiasts
Thank you Tod for putting all of your (and some other Roomba enthusiasts) hacks in one place for easy reference. While my initial reason for buying the book was to read the section about my kids' business, myRoomBud, I was just as interested in the information to help ...
  
  











  



  
Build the Ultimate Custom PC
Adrian Kingsley-Hughes, Kathie Kingsley-Hughes

Wiley, 2005

Still an Excellent Resource
I have just built my third PC and still find this book very useful. By now, I do not need to consult it every minute, but I did on my first build (about a year ago) and it was a total lifesaver then. Now it serves as a resource when I need to refresh my memory or ...
  
  











  



  
Wi-Fi Toys: 15 Cool Wireless Projects for Home, Office, and Entertainment
Mike Outmesguine

Wiley, 2004

Good book, but......
Overall a good book, with good ideas and greatt explanations for the project. However I found a problem with Solar Powered WiFi repeater. He is showing you to use a Power Inverter for the two WiFi devices you will use. That does not make sense. They are both 12 volt ...
