New Blog Highlights Creative and Ridiculous Hacks

by Kaiser Hwang on July 5, 2009 at 12:32 PM

If there's one universal truth in the world, it's that things break. From the latest and greatest gadgets to your home's water pipes, nothing is quite immune from the realities of wear-and-tear and/or human error. And while there are things like warranties and repairmen to take care of such issues, nothing beats human imagination and some elbow grease, as showcased by site There, I Fixed It.

Featuring a wide assortment of user-submitted hacks, you'll find a gallery of the most absurd solutions to everyday problems. Smoke alarm busted? Stick a bag of popcorn on your wall. Out of spoons? Nothing a zip tie and some duct tape can't fix (check out the pic above). Some of the entries suggest incredible thriftiness, while others are clearly Photoshop jobs, but they're all definitely hilarious. Click on over for your moment of DIY Zen. [From: Wired]
