Makemagazine

Today's post was going to be about a DIY project, so I intended to look at Make Magazine, dig up a fun idea and show it to you...

So I started looking in their projects, in the Electronics, Microcontrollers, Science, Robotics, Motors and Engines and Flight and Projectiles categories. After my browser almost crashed by all the tabs I oppened to check each category's sub-section before I get to the indivifual projects (good organizing for such a big archive by the way), I decided to just write about this whole magazine and go to bed due to lazyness...

Make (or MAKE) is an American quarterly magazine published by O'Reilly Media which focuses on do it yourself (DIY) and/or DIWO (Do It With Others) projects involving computers, electronics, robotics, metalworking, woodworking and other disciplines. The magazine is marketed to people who enjoy making things and features complex projects which can often be completed with cheap materials, including household items. The magazine also launched a public annual event to "celebrate arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset." Called Maker Faire, the first was held April 22 – 23, 2006 at the San Mateo Fairgrounds. It included 6 exposition & workshop pavilions, a 5-acre (20,000 m²) outdoor midway, over 100 exhibiting Makers, hands-on workshops, demonstrations and DIY competitions. In January 2009 on PBS stations premiered Make: television which is a television show produced by Twin Cities Public Television and hosted by John Edgar Park.
