I was super excited to add this magazine to my presigious bathroom reading pile. However, this particular issue lacked exciting content. I wish I bought the spud-gun issue. Steer clear of this issue, it’s not worth the money.

With a 512 Megabyte memory chip installed I was totally unprepared when halfway through a trip problems arose and I suddenly found myself unsure whether any pictures could be saved.
My husband was reading “Make: technology on your time” and from this publication he learned that lost digital photographs may be saved.
“Make: technology on your time” provides comprehensive ideas for today’s handyman (or woman). Saving my photos was the first benefit we’ve implemented. Applying information from this publication SAVED my pictures!
For the adventurous, constructing a 5-in-1 Network Cable prepares your computer for the unexpected. Whether a workbench tinkler, or a science or engineering student, this title is both helpful and challenging.
Buy it and see what it will do for you.

I have a handful of Make: copies, and plan on fleshing out the rest of the back catalog. I’m considering a subscription. Even if you don’t have a workshop, these “magazines” (more like little books, actually) are great for stimulating your mind and reminding you that making things isn’t just something that other people do.

Great magazine, lots of interesting articles about making DIY projects with parts from around the house. This is a must read for all you tinkering people out there.

My first impression of the magazine, before I even opened it, was that it was very wonderfully designed. The width and height are smaller than a regular magazine, but it’s about four times as thick. The paper quality is also great, so there’s absolutely no need to worry about a cheap magazine being thrown together. It’s a very impressive package for a debut issue, and it has the feel of a well-established magazine — one that’s been around for quite some time.
As far as content goes, the articles are interesting (assuming you enjoy reading about technology, electronics, mechanics, etc.) and fun. There is ‘hardware’ content as well as software and internet topics (Gmail hacks, weblog software, etc.). Personally, I enjoy reading about these things even if I don’t plan to do them myself, and if you are that way as well, then you might want to check out a copy of the magazine and see if you like it.
I haven’t even fully read the first issue yet, but already I’m very impressed with the look and feel of it as a whole.
