Anyone else here read wired magazine?
I pick up a copy when ever I can I am thinking of subscribing. This Octobers WIRED mag is so awesome as apart from all the normal great articles and features they have a Geekipedia. The Geekipedia is a glossary of geek terms and is a great read. Here is what they have for Modding. So if you have a few spare dollars run out and grab a copy.
The hot-rod era began around 1930m two decades after the Model T, when Americans became comfortable enough with their horseless carriages to start souping up engines and laying down custom paint. Likewise, three decades after the Apple II, consumers are ready to dig into high tech. Modders configure Xboxes to run Linux, tweak Macs into Macquariums, and hack World of Warcaft avatars to look naked. Unlike rodding, though, modding is as much protest as handicraft. it subverts end-user license agreements that smothers innovation in red tape and thwarts hardware hucksters who dare to think one feature set fits all.
