Make: the book
Various, The Best of Make, O'Reilly
In the past we've looked at a few issues of Make
magazine. They're always fun and usually there's one or
two projects we wouldn't mind having a try at.
The Best Of has 75 projects culled from the past and
there are quite a few fun ones there. There's even a
music section with projects like making a cereal box amp
or a cigar box guitar. Another has you fiddling with the
circuits of old battery-powered synths to create new
sounds.
Our favorite of the bigger projects was a complete
wind generated electricity outfit - propeller, stand,
generator, circuits, as well as a lot of helpful
safety and other pointers.
This brings us to the whole attitude of the thing - You
Can Do It! Don't let other people convince you that you're
ignorant and powerless.
