Make - the magazine
Make: technology on your time published by O'Reilly
We've only just got to see the first issue of this new mag
from O'Reilly. Quite fun it is too. Last year we had at least two
books of geek projects and now we have a magazine as well. As
they say "181 pages of D.I.Y. Technology.
It is nicely and clearly laid out as well and some of the
projects are kite aerial photography, a video camera stabilizer,
a five-in-one network cable, a magnetic stripe reader (well, what
we really want is a writer), how to solder, and much, much more
including "ten cool gmail hacks" which is part of a section
called "online".
In the end, the appeal of this sort of publication depends on whether the projects
tickle your fancy but there's also a can-do spirit about such
things that make them fun even if the projects aren't something
you want to surrender a weekend to.
