This review is from: Make: Technology on Your Time Volume 08 (Paperback)

I have been reading MAKE since the very beginning, and it looks like they finally got it 100% right. There are many great projects to try out, and a fair amount of history and back story. If you love technology then check this out. If you don't think your that smart, and want to try out working on tech, then check it out.
