Here's a fun weekend project for those of your who like building your own Mac add-ons. Raymi.Org has posted a tutorial on how to build your own US$35 Time Capsule using a Raspberry Pi single-board computer, rather than paying $299 for the official Apple version. If you aren't aware, a Time Capsule is a storage device that allows you to securely and wirelessly back up your data.
You'll need two things; a Raspberry Pi, Model B/B+ and a USB disk. The builder has tested this method with a 128 GB USB disk and a 1 TB USB hard drive. It's possible to get a lot of storage using this method. The entire process is complicated, so set aside a good block of time to complete the project.
Once you're done you'll have a perfectly serviceable budget Time Capsule. Enjoy the storage and savings.
