How MAKE magazine describes itself should make clear to any wikinomics reader why we are so interested in the site:

MAKE Magazine brings the do-it-yourself mindset to all the technology in your life. MAKE is loaded with exciting projects that help you make the most of your technology at home and away from home. We celebrate your right to tweak, hack, and bend any technology to your own will.

In other words, it truly is the bible of a generation of prosumers who are customizing and innovating with all the technology around them. I strongly recommend that you regularly check out the site, if for no other reason than getting a sneak peek on all the cool innovations floating around there that you’d otherwise never hear of. To mention a few hot spots:

• the main blog page is the prime destination for staying up-to-date.
• The Make Flickr pool competition is a fascinating collection of pictures.
• The new “MADE in Japan” blog section will be particularly interesting to many North American readers, who may or may not know Japan tends to be a few years ahead of us in technology innovation.
• The how-to DVD rental space (powered by SmartFlix) could help a lot of people… though the lack of direct-download option is curious.
• As a side note, it appears part of their advertising done through Federated Media, a very interesting company that deserves a blog post on here soon.

Of course, there are also literally thousands of interesting little innovations posted all over the blog, etc… like this scary looking Handheld 3-D Scanner.  Anyone want to point us towards some of their favorites?
