Open source gift guide - Open source hardware, software and more

makezine.com — There are hundreds of gift guides this holiday season filled with junk you can buy - but a lot of time you actually don't own it, you can't improve upon it, you can't share it or make it better, you certainly can't post the plans, schematics and source code either. Here's the only open source gift guide you see this year and it's from MAKE Magazine Nov 24, 2006 View in Crawl 4

"Open Prosthetics Project" Are you tired of having just 2 arms, and 2 legs? If you said yes to this, then you have come to the right place. Yes we have the technology, the equipment, and with your donations you too could have a third arm. That's right a third arm. According to our R&D peeps, This will actually be a law in many states if you are a person who uses the cell phone, drinks, has breakfast, and smokes while driving. Don't wait until it passes as a law though, the time to get one is now. The possibilities for using your third arm are endless! Just think of how many words per minute you could type, how you could brush your teeth while fixing your hair, and putting on makeup. If you really want to know what to get Johnny for Christmas, this is it. A third arm.Seriously though, I think this is a great organization, and everyone that can afford to donate should. This could be a huge leap for the open source community to join into the physical world, and how better then with health care. Especially with the war going on, people are loosing limbs constantly, and this could be one of the best humanitarian efforts in history. Not to mention... Who doesn't want to be the million dollar man!!!
