I'm always on the lookout for people who make homemade stuff that probably shouldn't be homemade. In this throwaway, post-consumerist society there's really very little made that's designed to be repaired, but it stands to reason that the more parts there are out there, the more permutations of cobbled-together stuff can be rigged. The conceptual gulf between consumers and DIY'ers is widening, and I'm on the side of the DIY'ers, which is why I like seeing guys like this make infrared night vision scopes from parts he found dumpster diving.
