_Make:_ and new Life Hacks column premieres

Make Logo

Make: is O’Reilly’s new mook (meaning “book-length magazine”—not a frat guy in a backwards baseball hat). It’s a beautifully designed and edited publication about homemade technology projects for nerds. Kind of like ReadyMade meets Popular Mechanics.

Issue #01 features the premiere of a “Life Hacks” column by Danny O’Brien and your author. Issue #2 will have more columny goodness from us plus a review or three from me.

You can and should subscribe to Make: for ~US$35/year.

Wow. Very cool. It’s a shame they didn’t use a woodcut animal in the masthead, though. Like a crow or a robin or something.

Oh, man! A crow would be perfect. Don’t they get distracted by shiny objects? The perfect metaphor for a magazine that helps you creatively procrastinate! ;-)

Seems odd to pay to subscribe to a magazine that publishes spelling errors in it’s initial offering. Word would surely pick up the fact that “studing” is not a word. Right?

It’s very odd, indeed, Paul. You should definitely not subscribe.

Thanks.

<snark>Seems odd to write “it’s” for the possessive in a post criticizing someone else’s spelling errors.</snark>
