*The idea of MAKE television is quite scary, but even scarier is that long list of MAKE fellow travellers who are noticing that MAKE makes videos now.
Welcome to MAKE... Make: television coverage around the web
Make: television debuted 1/3/2009 7am PST online and on public television (broadcast / cable tv). The series encourages everyone to invent, revent, 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 - We're pretty sure this might be the first TV show to launch in all these places, hopefully others will too!
For the new folks just joining us here, MAKE is a magazine, it's also a yearly event called "Maker Faire", a very popular website, a book series, a Maker Shed - but most of all it's a community of Makers who share their projects and skill. Make is what -you- make it. It's a growing DIY movement of people who look at things a little different and who just might spark the next generation of scientists, engineers and makers. Over the weekend our friends (and new friends) had some great things to say about the show, here's all the ones we could find, thanks for the support!
