| 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. Our premier issue,
available in February 2005, includes 220 pages packed with
tips and tricks, including:
how to create a $14 stabilizer for your video camera with
readily available household items
how to use an ordinary kite to take extraordinary
professional quality aerial digital photos
how to get rid of that tangle of wires by creating your own
5-in-1 network cable
how to decipher the magnetic stripe on your credit card to
find out what your credit card company really knows about
you 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 and home networking, and computer
hardware. Visit MAKE's web site: make.oreilly.com.
