When we post new content on MAKE, we love hearing from our readers. Whether the comments be informative, insightful, or funny, here are our favorites from the past week, from Makezine, our Facebook page, Google+ Community, and Twitter.
In the article Tool Tales: The Pump Drill, Mike Wirth commented:
I was tempted to say “the first cordless drill”, but wait — it has a cord! :-)
In the piece MAKE Asks: Bucket List Builds, chuck remarks:
The Radioisotopophone! A musical instrument consisting of individual Geiger counters with their probes in sealed containers containing various radioactive samples. Each probe is connected via a momentary push button arranged like keys. By carefully selecting your samples you can ‘tune’ the rate of the clicks to create a tunable static effect. Post apocalyptic rave!
On MAKE’s Facebook page, Erik Burman responded to the Ice Tube Clock Kit in the Makers Shed by saying:
I built one of these a while back. It’s a thing of beauty! I was worried that the VFD tube might burn out eventually so I ordered more on ebay. Now it’ll last forever! To do list: Set it up for GPS accuracy.
On the Make Twitter page we saw this:

It’s marvelously frivolous!

So, is it cool to make comments about a comment post?
commented on your comment about the comment post. Yay recursivity!
Now someone has to make a comment about your comment about his comment about the comment post that is so clever that it makes it into next week’s ‘Your Comments’ post. Is this the meta all the kids are talking about?
Patient OP is patient. How far will they stretch this?
Until all the comments are one character wide. Then we’ll go back to making stuff.
Sadly, comments seem to be limited to five levels deep. If this thread makes the next “Your Comments” post, though, we could continue.
