Wired News on Make. David Pescovitz: Wired News ran an article today about Make, the new DIY tech magazine that O'Reilly Media is launching early next year with BB's own Mark Frauenfelder at the helm!
The can-do attitude of old hobbyist magazines like Popular Science and Popular Mechanics inspired the spirit of the new magazine, (O'Reilly VP Dale) Dougherty said.

"That was kind of lost in the '70s and '80s when people started becoming more consumers," said Mark Frauenfelder, editor in chief of Make. "People didn't need to make things anymore. It was cheaper to buy them."

While that still may be true today, "there is a satisfaction in making something rather than buying it," he said.
