This hugely fun book contains 15 weekend projects for the geek in all of us. If you are not afraid of tinkering with hardware, and know the hot end of a soldering iron from the handle, then this book is for you.

The projects are split into Basic and Advanced hacks, and includes projects to build

• a cubicle intrusion detection system,
• a car-mounted video camera for seeing around SUVs,
• a digital video recorder,
• an arcade game,
• making radio-controlled cars play laser tag,
• hacking an 802.11b antenna
• and an Internet-enabled toaster that imprints the weather forecast on toast.
