There are some hacks that are kind of fun to look at and think about, but when the proverbial "rubber meets the road" you wonder how practical the hack might actually be. Take this shopping cart hack that I remember running into a few years back.
It's a cool idea and all, but the wheels on that cart actually handling what a typical road might throw at you? This hack would not last one block on most Manhattan Streets where some potholes can swallow small children.
We did post this trailer back in April of last year and it is moving toward a more practical hack that I can actual imagine working.
And then there is the person who completes a hack that is both awesome and practical. Reader Laurent sent along the following pictures for posting. Laurent noted that he would have difficulty detailing the process in English so you will not see text notes on the process, which in this case is not really a problem because a picture is worth a thousand words. Merci Laurent!
Just one comment from me, the tire bumpers are awesome!

Fantastic...I'd love to pull up at the local Giant with this. Would a typical $230 MIG welder do the job here?

A good shopping cart program also creates dynamic order forms on the fly as the order takes place. The shopping cart should be totally dynamic, meaning it only executes code and retrieves products, images, and product descriptions from your database when your customers request it.

This is very cool. This is very accessible you can use this most of the time. Thanks for sharing this.
