hackin' ain't just for computers anymore...
Actually, it never was just for computers. Ever since I was a kid I have disassembled, hodge-podged and slapped together everything from toys to clocks to bikes to cars & trucks to... well, you get the idea.
Now, at long last, there is a publication that caters to weirdos such as myself: MAKE. It covers everything from embedding a MacMini in your VW to rigging cameras on kites for low-budget aerial photography to home-built backyard monorails. Geek heaven!
When is a magazine worth $15? When it's MAKE. Never has a publication inspired me to spend more money and time on useless but nonetheless entertaining things. If this publication looks even halfway entertaining to you, subscribe! It would be a shame to see this mag not make it due to financial reasons.
Sure, they could have just launched a website, but there's just something about having a physical publication to flip through. It won't be long 'til some of these contraptions and projects start showing up here.

You didn't tell everyone where you keep your copies of Make magazine, Beak. ;-)
Meg Monster was in town this week and she brought a copy of Ready Made with her. I think I might subscribe. The teeter-tooter project looked fun -- http://www.readymademag.com/ --
