If you like to tweak, disassemble, recreate, and invent cool new uses for technology, you'll love MAKE, our 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.

The May 2006 Volume 06 issue focuses on Robots! Build a pair of electronic insects, LED throwies, a rodent-powered nightlight, a floating tower structure, a bug sucker, and that is only the beginning.

This review is from: Make, Volume 6: Technology on Your Time (Make: Technology on Your Time) (Paperback)

This review is not about the magazine itself because I never received it. I ordered directly from Amazon and expected to wait a few weeks because the product description said it ships within 6 to 7 weeks. I ordered it March 21 and have gotten 3 emails from Amazon asking me to authorize a delay. No reason was given. The current delivery estimate is now JULY 13. Writing to Amazon only resulted in a "we're sorry" form letter with no explanation.

I have never had trouble with Amazon before so I'm guessing the problem is with this product, which is why I felt the need to warn people. IF YOU BUY THIS FROM AMAZON YOU MAY BE IN FOR QUITE A WAIT.
