The first anniversary of Hack-A-Day is coming up Monday September 5th. So if you’ve got any pictures of Hack-A-Day swag in the wild, now is the time to send them in. Since it is labor day I’ll probably be idling on the #hackaday Efnet channel most of the day too. So stop by and say hi.

The ReBirth software synth has been retired and released for free. The software models two Roland 303s, an 808 and a 909. [via MeFi]
The competition for the Treehugger DIY contest is heating up. Check out this solar powered hydrofoil. UPDATE: Readers have cried foul because Marquette’s Solar Energy Society deserves all of the credit for this project.
Fabienne was wondering the other day how to make private links in del.icio.us. She dug up this clever bookmarklet hack that encrypts your links.

I hope you’re having a good weekend.

With regard to the Hydrofoil article.
Terry had nothing to do with the contstruction of this boat. It was created by a team at Marquette long before Terry joined. Terry has never driven the boat. It was driven in the SolarSplash competition http://www.solarsplash.com . The boat’s website can be found at http://www.ses.marquette.edu/
It is actually a carbon fiber hull.
Wow the ripsaw 2 has its computer components suspeneded with RC car suspention parts. I really hope they release plans or more detailed info on the ripsaw that is one crazy machine
ripsaw looks incredible. the hd suspension system is pure genius!
The best part is that it’s basically stuff we as enthusiasts stand a chance of getting our hands on, or adapting to our own uses!
I wanted to thank you for the ReBirth link. I have been looking for a synth program for a while, and this is exactly what I need.
Thanks again, and keep up the good work.
