Editorial Reviews

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. Our third issue looks at how you can turn your car into a Wi-Fi blasting, computer-controlled, GPS-enabled, biodiesel monster. Key features show how to turn a VCR into a pet feeding robot, how to make a see-through potato cannon, create a remote-controlled haunted house for Holloween, and get you the skinny on cheap welding.

The third edition profiles Ed Storms, now retired, and formerly employed at the Los Alamos National Laboratories. For more than a decade, Storms has been working on low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR.) If LENRs exist and can be harnessed, they will provide an alternative power source. Since they don't emit chemical pollutants, they may even alleviate global warming. Visit MAKE's web site: make.oreilly.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars High Quality, March 15, 2005
By E. Wuehler (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
While flipping through this "mook" (as it apparently is called), it brought back childhood memories of browsing my Dad's Popular Science (or was it Popular Mechanics?) magazines. I like the smaller, "bookish" form factor as it makes it feel more - well, uhh - like a book. Since this is a magazine, I was curious to see how many ads I was going to have to wade through. I was pleasantly surprised to discover there were hardly any; I hope they keep them to a minimum going forward.

The "how to" articles are very well done, with a great amount of step-by-step information in both visual and written detail. My only problem now is time. Every project looked like so much fun it was disappointing to realize I wouldn't be able to do them all before the next issue would arrive and give me a whole new set of cool projects. =) My personal time management issues aside, Make is high-quality publication, top to bottom.

4.0 out of 5 stars Super! (almost...), February 16, 2005
What's not to love? The 9"x7" book format is much better than the typical magazine size, all the articles are interesting, and almost no fluff.

My only dislikes: The body type is really small, and some of the sidebars are set even smaller. Us older geeks really need a slightly larger font. I'm not a big fan of body copy set in sans-serif either, but can live with it.

I subscribed, PLEASE ship this in a poly bag. The Post Office can to cruel things to a magazine.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've been looking for this!, October 26, 2005
By Velojym "eclectic whatever" (Diminuitive Boulder, AR) - See all my reviews
I stay on the lookout for the "Boys" guides, you know, those old books dealing with science and technology (a hundred years old, perhaps, but still quite educational). I've looked into a few more modern magazines, such as Popular Mechanics (good for what it is), Wired (mostly a culture thing, I guess), and 2600 (fine, if my goal was to electronically knock over a Target store or something).
This is what I was after: a 'book' series dealing with hacking together hardware, making stuff work, and making stuff work better.
Now my 'to do' list has grown substantially, with a bunch of things I really hadn't thought of doing!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great if you are a technology junkie!
I was interested in a couple specific projects in this publication. But they are a bit over my head and ability. It's a very interesting read, but for the very technology savy.
