What a great idea!
Hack Friday is an alternative to Black Friday that celebrates personal initiative and creativity. Instead of mobbing the local box store at 4am, you sleep in, stay home, and work on your own projects with the people you love. A Hack Friday project can be anything you like, from gardening to programming to woodwork and beyond — the point is to encourage active making instead of passive consuming. It’s an unofficial, nationwide 24-hour hackathon.
If you’re hackin’, and want to share your projects online, use the hash tag #hackfriday on Twitter and G+.
If you have kids, it’s also a good day to make something like an air rocket launcher for the cool weather!
