Inventgeek

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

InventGeek.com was founded in may of 2005 by Jared Bouck as a Technology modding site specializing in providing how to articles for the do-it-yourself project enthusiast. InventGeek covers a broad range of topics ranging from do-it-yourself home theaters and home built racing simulators to Random number generators based on the radioactive decay of Americium 241. While InventGeek was started as a hobby site, Inventgeek has been featured in magazines from all over the world as well as many popular sites such as toms hardware, Slashdot, Hack a Day and Engadget just to name a few.

InventGeek Differs from many how to sites. Instead of providing an overview, or summary as closure to the article. InventGeek wants you in some way or in part to expound on the projects they have done. “We revel in great and new discoveries.... but we cherish the ability of creative and divergent thinking with a practical or even semi-practical use in our daily lives. Take what we have done here and add to it. We know some parts are rough and unrefined. But that's the whole goal. To at least create a framework that others can add to and evolve into something really great. So pick up a hammer or torch and put some time into gaining experience, and share what you have learned with others that share the same interest. Experience never hurt any one, yet unbridled ignorance has. In the words of Eleanor Roosevelt "People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built."
