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.

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. This second issue, available in June 2005, includes 224 pages packed with tips and tricks, including:

How to build an HDTV recorder and beat the Broadcast Flag

Podcasting 101

How to ransform abandoned toys into environmental avengers

R2-D1Y extreme bot builders at home

The Atari2600 PC Project

How to build a light-seeking robot from an old mouse

A Maker Profile on Natalie Jeremijenko 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 andhome networking, and computer hardware. Visit MAKE's web site: make.oreilly.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent edition, June 20, 2005
The cover on this one is a bit deceptive since the large robot stuff is just a short article. But the rest of the magazine rocks! Great projects from simple marshmallow shooters, to a PC modded into the case of an Atari 2600, to robotic dogs and mice. There is ten solid pages on podcasting, both receiving podcasts and creating your own. If you thought the first one was great you will love this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tinker Tinker this is your STAR!, June 4, 2005
Try to get your hands on the premiere edition. This is a tinkerer's dream come true. I love the MakeShift section. Never knew that aspirin adds life to a dead auto battery. Live and Learn.

4.0 out of 5 stars Science Fiction scenario, May 27, 2005
By W Boudville (Terra, Sol 3) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Barely 2 months ago, O'Reilly put out volume 1 of this book/magazine series. Now here is volume 2. Guess they are serious about the periodical nature. As in the first volume, there is a grab bag of unpredictable moddings (this seems to be the book's favourite term). Which may well be the enduring attraction, on an ongoing basis. You just can't tell what crazy, funky stuff will show up, as you turn the pages.

Clearly, what catches your eye will vary with whomever you are. But let me describe one article. Chris Smith studied people who signed up on World of Warcraft and made a nice living by earning gold pieces and selling these on eBay. Surely, you might think, this is small scale? But he found that in 3 months, $1.3 million of these sales occurred. And the top seller made $111k. Not bad for 3 months work. Though keep in mind that in any distribution, the top person might be very unusual. Well, Smith also points out that in February 2005, the top 5 sellers made an average of $20k each! Damn!

Not so long ago (pre-Web), this would have been a pure science fiction scenario. Set in the far future. Appropriately, we are indeed in the 21st century.
