I'm addicted to MAKE magazine, and you should be too. The editor/founder -- Mark Frauenfelder -- is also the founder of boingboing.net. So there's a lot of fun geek sci-fi projects in every issue. Plus in this issue they feature the R2-D2 Builders on the cover as you can see here.

"If there's a way to hack it, tweak it, bend it, or remix it, you will find out about it in MAKE."

MAKE focuses on cool things you can do to make technology work the way you want it to. Whether you're a geek or hacker who delights in creating new uses for technology, or a Saturday afternoon tinkerer who loves to get his hands dirty, you'll keep every issue of MAKE on your bookshelf for years to come.

This second issue, available in June 2005, includes 224 pages packed with tips and tricks, including:

* How to build an HDTV recorder and beat the Broadcast Flag
* Podcasting 101
* How to ransform abandoned toys into environmental avengers
* R2-D1Y extreme bot builders at home
* The Atari2600 PC Project
* How to build a light-seeking robot from an old mouse
* A Maker Profile on Natalie Jeremijenko and lots more!
