<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>If you like to tweak, disassemble, re-create, and invent cool new uses for technology, you'll love <i>MAKE</i> our new quarterly publication for the inquisitive do-it-yourselfer. <br/><br/>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 <i>MAKE</i>.<br/><br/>This isn't another gadget magazine. <i>MAKE</i> 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. <i>MAKE</i> 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. <br/><br/>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 <i>MAKE</i> on your bookshelf for years to come. This second issue, available in June 2005, includes 224 pages packed with tips and tricks, including: </p><ul><li>How to build an HDTV recorder and beat the Broadcast Flag</li><li>Podcasting 101</li><li>How to ransform abandoned toys into environmental avengers</li><li>R2-D1Y extreme bot builders at home</li><li>The Atari2600 PC Project</li><li>How to build a light-seeking robot from an old mouse</li><li>A Maker Profile on Natalie Jeremijenko and lots more!</li></ul>Every quarter, <i>MAKE</i> 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Mark Frauenfelder is a writer and illustrator living in Los Angeles, and the editor of MAKE.
