Editorial Reviews:

If you like to tweak, disassemble, re-create, and invent cool new uses for technology, you'll love MAKE our 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.

Summary: Good for kids and adults alike.
Comment: Make Magazine and their website is the ground floor entrance to an ever-growing tower of practical solutions to problems of various levels of complexity. For a parent and child, every issue has projects and activities that will foster creative thinking, problem solving, and bring families closer together at a time when TV and video games tend to generate zoned out indifference to one another. Make is a modern resurgance of the DIY culture which spawned such bits of Americana ranging from the Soapbox racer to computers built in a garage.

My example: From an article that explains how to spend $6 building your own "steadycam" that would likely cost you hundreds, if not thousands, when purchased off the shelf. I adapted the design to handle one, two, or four cameras for stereoscopic projects as well as hold my Tablet PC which acts as a voice activated remote control.
