MAKE: Technology on Your Time

Make is the first magazine devoted entirely to DIY technology projects. It unites, inspires and informs a growing community of resourceful people who undertake amazing projects in their backyards, basements, and garages.

MAKE: Technology on Your Time magazine is one of the leading publications for those interested in do-it-yourself projects. Designed with the magazine's blog readers in mind, each issue uses bright colors, bold photographs, and simple text that readers can easily peruse on their own time. From technology-based projects to ones that involve simple things around the house, the magazine has something for everyone.

Each issue of MAKE: Technology on Your Time magazine includes a few projects that make use of obsolete technology and products you already have on hand. One issue might show a project that turns an older laptop into an electronic photo frame, while another issue instructs readers on attaching a camera to a kite for aerial photography. Some issues also include tips on making electronic devices run more smoothly.

Many of the articles in MAKE: Technology on Your Time magazine focus on hacking electronic devices in safe and completely legal ways. The first issue showed readers how to turn an ordinary network cable into one that did five separate jobs and how to hack a Gmail account to make it run better. Every DIY project in the magazine comes with easy-to-read instructions and full-color photographs that detail the different stages from beginning to end, and some projects include tips from the readers and writers who created the finished product.

Subscribing to MAKE: Technology on Your Time gives you the chance to recycle your old electronics into new devices and find projects for slow days.
