MAKE: Technology on Your Time
Mark Frauenfelder
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
Rank: 295
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.
Our premier issue, available in February 2005, includes 220 pages
packed with tips and tricks, including: - how to create a $14
stabilizer for your video camera with readily available household items
- how to use an ordinary kite to take extraordinary professional
quality aerial digital photos
- how to get rid of that tangle of
wires by creating your own 5-in-1 network cable
- how to decipher
the magnetic stripe on your credit card to find out what your credit card
company really knows about you 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.
