World's First Mook
What's a mook?
Hey, I didn't know either until about five minutes ago, when I read a review in the March issue of Wired magazine about Mark Frauenfelder's "Make: Technology on Your Time."
Wired used the word "mook" to describe "a quarterly publication that combines an easy-to-read magazine format with the heft of a book."
Sounds good to me.
"... Frauenfelder... offer[s] up illustrated instructions for stuff like making a magnetic strip reader (to access the info that's stored on your credit cards), rigging together a steadycam for just $14, and building a hybrid car."
I like it.
"'Make' is like a Time-Life collectible series for geeks."
Where do I sign up?
Amazon will sell you one for $10.19; ISBN/item# 0596009224.
