Now is your chance to hold a piece of Hackaday in your hands. Last year we announced our first ever print edition. We continue that tradition with a much bigger offering. Hackaday Omnibus vol #02 gathers the best content from Hackaday over the last year. This includes in-depth original content, incredible art, the events that mattered over the last 12 months, and a few cryptic easter eggs.
[Joe Kim], Hackaday’s Art Direct, really outdid himself with the cover this year. Inspired by an epic movie, the illustration includes a shoutout to almost every article found within. Of course there is a lot more of his work inside, along with the efforts of dozens of writers, artists, editors, and more.
All 128 pages of Omnibus vol #02 were painstakingly laid out by [Aleksandar Bradic] who enlisted the help of a dedicated core of Hackaday.io members to help pore over the final drafts, ensuring the presentation is immaculate. Along the way some of them teamed up to roll in those easter eggs that I previously mentioned. We don’t even know what all of it means, you should be the first to solve the mystery.
Most of the 31 articles that grace these pages have run past the front page of Hackaday. But there are a few that were written specifically for the print edition. These will be published on our front page starting in 90 minutes and continuing for a few weeks. It is important to us to share these great works without the need to purchase anything. But the Omnibus is truly one of the coolest pieces of tech literature that you can own. It deserves a place on your coffee table, reception area at work, and as a gift for all who love to know how things work, how things were built, and the legacy of knowledge that has come from generations of hacking.

Looks great!
It sort of reminds me of a Hayao Miyazaki movie.
Howl’s Moving Castle.
Got my order in!
Looks beautiful! Can I get it shipped to Sweden?
Ok, I just saw it’s $17 shipping for overseas. I got the order in. I’m happy to support great work. Thanks guys!
Everything I’d like to have is out of stock- bus pirate and teensies. Buying a mountain of t shirts is not something I have in mind. Apparently no omnibus for me.
Bus Pirates are out, but we do have Teensy 3.2 back http://store.hackaday.com/products/teensy-3-2
$17 for the shipping on a product priced $17 seems a bit over the top. I’m now trying to figure what to spend the $75 on…
Is there a hardback version?!?! please?
+1
I would be interested in a hardback sort of “hacker encyclopedia” with all of the most informative HaD articles written. These annual omnibuses are still pretty sweet though!
I ordered 2 copies! (But the promo code only applied once, not that I really mind)
Is there any way to buy the first edition still?! I should have started from the beginning… >:(
The first edition is still available in the store! http://store.hackaday.com/products/hackaday-omnibus-2014
What would be really cool is if you could see a list of what is in the book! having been featured (albeit marginally) on HaD I would definitely buy one if I was in the book (I’m not) this might apply to others!
I wanted to buy this and the Smart Matix http://store.hackaday.com/products/smartmatrix-bundle plus the first edition, but the Smart matrix is out of stock, any chance it will be back in stock..?
We should be getting this back in. You can use the email me when available tab (green on the righ-hand side) to be notified. http://store.hackaday.com/products/smartmatrix-bundle
yes I have…
Very nice object I’d like to leave on the coffee table but shipping outside North America (I live in France) is very expensive : $17 ! I could get free shipping $75+ of other stuff but … wait…
Argh! Having just moved, I am broker than broke for the foreseeable future. I hope they aren’t all sold out once I acquire some spending power again…
Nicely done and great video.
He, I want a poster from this cover !
Poster would be cool. Did you see the links at the bottom of the product page?
Love the art style! Just hope Prince doesn’t get too upset…
We’re *hoping* Prince sues us. How cool would that be?
Haha then we can party like its 1999
:( no card w/ paypal at the moment – but just in case – do you guys deliver to europe as well ? :( :( :( so unhappy i can’t purchase
Paypal is working again, and shipping is international.
A few moments ago, I got my order to germany in.
The promocode got it under the tax limit here in Denmark, so i dont mind the shipping as much :)
Would like the first edition as well, but 15USD > 11.4USD(80DKK) limit :/
Use shipito with American address, fill customs declaration yourself for lower price. Probably will be cheaper than 17 dollars shipping, too.
Ordered! Still within the first 500!
The last issue was awesome, looking forward to this one. Thanks, y’all!
