MAKE a discovery

Ninth Post 06-09-05: MAKE a discovery

I just discovered the quarterly magazine "MAKE". MAKE is filled with hands on projects ranging from simple to involved projects. I have just skimmed through the book and read a few articles, but I must say that it is quite impressive.

The projects are similar to a college design project. They remind me of the "Popular Mechanics" from the 1960's and earlier, because they have fully explained projects which are on the cutting edge of design. Note that in the earlier 1900's popular mechanics included designs on how to make a flying machine.

The first issue does not tell you how to make an airplane, but it does tell you how to make a kite that has a camera. It also has a five in one network cable, camera stabilizer, magnetic card stripe reader, etc.

So check it out. You can find it where I did at www.amazon.com. You can still order issue one and issue two is going to have some "Star Wars" in it. So may the Creative Force be with you.
