MAKE is loaded with brilliant projects that help you uhm, make the most of technology.

MAKE is the website of the very popular American magazine. It falls in line with the Hacks books and Hardware Hacking Projects for Geeks, but it takes a highly visual and personal ­approach.

In MAKE you can learn how to make a video camera stabiliser, a do-it-yourself alternative to an expensive Steadicam and how to create a five-in-one cable adapter for connecting to networks. Some projects are strictly for fun, others are very practical, and still others are absolutely astounding.

If you are inclined towards a bit of pyromania why not check out these Diminutive Balls of Fire.
