I’ve found a new magazine that I really like. Its called "Make." Make
is hard to describe, but basically its "Popular Mechanics" for techno-geeks or gizmo DIYers. It comes out four times a year in almost
book-like form (similar to a National Geographic magazine in size and
print quality), and is filled with mostly for-fun articles about
gadgets and gizmos that can be built in your workshop if you have the
time, patience and talent to do it.
Now, these are NOT "how to install a new sink in your bathroom" DIY
articles, these are "how to build an RC lawnmower with a hybrid
gas-electric motor" type articles…yikes! I love it. These people make my CNC-driven Etch-a-Sketch machine look normal.
