When did you First Discover MAKE?


MAKE Asks: is a weekly column where we ask you, our readers, for responses to maker-related questions. We hope the column sparks interesting conversation and is a way for us to get to know more about each other.

This week’s question: It might have been a casual introduction for some, but I have a feeling some of you may distinctly remember when and how you first heard about MAKE. Please tell your story.

When I was starting on my first electronics project, I brought a guitar pedal idea to some geeky friends of mine. After some discussion and hasty sketching in a notebook, one of them slapped an issue of Make Magazine on the table and said, “Colombo, you need to start reading this.” In a way, that’s when it all changed.

Post your responses in the comments section.

What will the next generation of Make: look like? We’re inviting you to shape the future by investing in Make:. By becoming an investor, you help decide what’s next. The future of Make: is in your hands. Learn More.
