READ MORE ABOUT:
MAKE is a must read for any modern tech savvy tinkerer. It combines the DIY ethos of its sister publication Craft with a technological bent—and the result is often as green as it gets. The site's goal is to show that technology is ours for the using—with a little imagination, innovation, and know-how, anybody can design and create cutting edge tools to make our lives more efficient.
MAKE's quarterly print magazine is chock full of fascinating projects and step-by-step guides, but the web site does it one better: as well as containing much of the same info, it boasts a constantly updated blog that highlights the best in tech minded DIY.
At time of writing, a few exemplary articles up on the site hit on topics like how to use your iPhone as a garage door opener, DIY solar project contests, and how to make an easy backyard gray water system that would recycle laundry water to help feed your garden.
The more in-depth features on the site lean are often even more advanced: consider this cool system that turns the heat from tea or coffee into piston power, or this crazy way to make an instrument out of ball bearings. The features are all either fully illustrated or have informative videos that take you step by step through the projects.
Which brings me to MAKE TV, which features fantastic films on insanely creative projects, like this one on how to make a cat feeder out of an old VCR.
Well, you get the idea: when it comes to inspiring, complex, technology-tapping DIY projects, MAKE is in a league of its own.
