A TV Show Based On MAKE Magazine

Posted by kdawson on from the hacking-for-the-masses dept.

ptorrone writes "Make: television debuted online and on public television (broadcast / cable tv). The series encourages everyone to invent, reinvent, recycle, upcycle, and act up. Based on the popular Make magazine, each half-hour episode hopes to inspire viewers to think, create, and, well, make. Each episode can be viewed or downloaded DRM-free, in HD on makezine.tv — the show is also available on Vimeo, YouTube, blip.tv and iTunes."

    I just can't see how you can have very many episodes on Make. Maybe if they threw in autoconf, gcc, and a few other tools, then they could have good show...

      Are you kidding? Any show that shows our nation's soon-to-be unemployed masses how to make their own flamethrowers is GOING to be a hit.

    Remember Magnum PI's Ferrari? My neighbor's new Camry makes more horsepower than that thing.

    More horsepower, but far less awesome.

    Id love to see Make grow up.

    Hear Hear!

    I love MAKE, but they are a bit over concerned with making making "cool". Making your arduino chirp every time a new XKCD is posted isn't going to get anyone laid. Let's stop pretending.
