Product Description
If you like to tweak, disassemble, re-create, and invent cool new uses for technology, you'll love MAKE our new quarterly publication for the inquisitive do-it-yourselfer. Every issue is packed with projects to help you make the most of all the technology in your life. Everything from home entertainment systems, to laptops, to a host of PDAs is fair game. If there's a way to hack it, tweak it, bend it, or remix it, you will find out about it in MAKE. This isn't another gadget magazine. MAKE focuses on cool things you can do to make technology work the way you want it to. The publication is inspired by our bestselling Hacks series books but with a twist. MAKE is a mook (rhymes with book). We've combined the excitement, unexpectedness, and visual appeal of a magazine with the permanence and in-depth instructiveness of a how-to book. Whether you're a geek or hacker who delights in creating new uses for technology, or a Saturday afternoon tinkerer who loves to get his hands dirty, you'll keep every issue of MAKE on your bookshelf for years to come. This second issue, available in June 2005, includes 224 pages packed with tips and tricks, including: - How to build an HDTV recorder and beat the Broadcast Flag
- Podcasting 101
- How to ransform abandoned toys into environmental avengers
- R2-D1Y extreme bot builders at home
- The Atari2600 PC Project
- How to build a light-seeking robot from an old mouse
- A Maker Profile on Natalie Jeremijenko and lots more!
Every quarter, MAKE will contain a unique set of innovative ideas and creations for a variety of new technologies, including mobile devices, in-car computers, web services, digital media, wireless and home networking, and computer hardware. Visit MAKE's web site: make.oreilly.com.

The best mag for your brain and hands. February 27, 2007
If you like making stuff , or wondered how people go about inventing things, this is your magazine.
I've been inspired to make all sorts of things, and have found that my kids enjoy playing with hand made things as much, or more than any toy we can buy at the store.
There are also all kinds of great ideas for re-using technology.
It covers everything from marshmallow guns to robots. Very entertaining and inspirational and a great supplement to a good science education.
Relive tinkering with your Dad December 23, 2005
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you spent any time building technical projects as a kid with your parents, this is a wonderful gift for them: it brings back the memories of some of their proudest moments.
I grew up reading "The Amateur Scientist" in "Scientific American" magazine, and built many of the projects (as well as the requisite radios and go-carts) with my Dad. Forty years later, I subscribed to Make: and realized that this is the modern successor to "The Amateur Scientist".
I bought a subscription for myself and my Dad: now, although we're seperated by miles, we can discuss the projects and relive the times we spent together building and breaking things.
A deserving follow-up August 26, 2005
If the Make crew can keep the quality this tight, it will herald in a golden era of makers everywhere. This is a fitting follow-up to the amazing premeire issue. The great projects and how-tos quickly made my to-do list a mile longer.
Another excellent edition June 21, 2005

The cover on this one is a bit deceptive since the large robot stuff is just a short article. But the rest of the magazine rocks! Great projects from simple marshmallow shooters, to a PC modded into the case of an Atari 2600, to robotic dogs and mice. There is ten solid pages on podcasting, both receiving podcasts and creating your own. If you thought the first one was great you will love this one.
Tinker Tinker this is your STAR! June 4, 2005

Try to get your hands on the premiere edition. This is a tinkerer's dream come true. I love the MakeShift section. Never knew that aspirin adds life to a dead auto battery. Live and Learn.
