Welcome to the Money Hacks Carnival!
I’m lucky enough to be hosting the 1st edition of the Money Hack Carnival. However, I can’t take credit for dreaming this thing up. You can thank my friend Pinyo for that. He’s the creator of Moolanomy (an excellent personal finance blog) and the Money Hackers Network, a place to discover great personal finance blogs.

Hacked Gadgets Edition
OK, enough of the administrative stuff. Here’s the goods. I’ve decided that the theme of today’s carnival will be “hacked gadgets”. I’ve scoured the web for some of the coolest gadget hacks around. Some you can do yourself and some can even save you money, like this first one:
