I have only been coming to Hack A Day for about 6 months or so now and this "This week in (our) history" thing is kind of nice, however I know that I can just use the search functions and browse around for fun.

I think this should keep being posted, however at the same time post some new, old school-like, posts to keep things fresh instead of just reusing things.

I totally agree with musicman. I have been visiting this site daily for quite some time, but recently the content posted is not as interesting as it used to be.
Keep it interesting, stick to basics ‘hack-a-day’, NOT ‘blast from the past’; for history & news i can always visit other sites…

As far as making multi-strand cables goes, why not use a rope maker? Something like the spinner used here perhaps? http://www.instructables.com/id/Reuse-old-printer-ribbons-and-video-tape-to-make-r/

Seriously, guys? “A new feature…”
Sounds to me like hackaday is running out of things to write about.
First the random news and pseudo-reviews, and now this…
Back to the roots, please. We’re begging you.

Excellent post – but there’s one thing I’d like to say: I would be careful to make sure that projects have had progress or that you have something more to say. Other sites, like LifeHacker, started getting tired when they had their “Content from last year” posts with stuff I had already seen. So I’d just like to vote to keep that in mind so you don’t start burning out your loyal readers.

BTW: I still love the site and look forward to your great posts every day.
