Make Magazine Subscription Now Available

Posted by michael on from the build-your-own dept.

Jac_no_k writes "O'Reilly's Make magazine is now taking subscription orders. They have an offer for one bonus 'mook' by using the offer code 'M5ZXML'. Their description: 'MAKE is a new hybrid magazine/book ("mook") published quarterly by O'Reilly. MAKE brings the do-it-yourself mindset to all the technology in your life. MAKE is loaded with exciting projects that help you make the most of your technology at home and away from home. It follows in line with the Hacks books and Hardware Hacking Projects, but it takes a highly visual and personal approach.'" If the quality of the magazine is the same as their technical books, this should be a worthwhile subscription.

      No, it was an ordinary Magazine. The clerk had a cold. Didn't you notice that after she told you: ``$6.13 for the bagazine.'' she said: ``Hab a dice day.''?

    If Penthouse magazine can go bankrupt even with naked boobies, what hope is there for a magazine without any boobies?

      We're talking about geeks here. Boobies get old. I could look at case mods all day long.

      Who said Make won't have any boobies? I heard one of their first issues will cover a DIY Real Doll.

    You must be running a strange shell if it accepts a line containing a single quote.

    I've given up fighting the word "blog" -- I just don't care anymore. The word "Mook", however, I'm ready to come out of retirement against.
