How to Make a Jedi Robe


I just got our 2nd issue in the mail! A lot of folks have been emailing and IMing me about how to get started in podcasting and here it is! We have a great how-to along with tips, tricks, software to use, gear suggestions and a lot more. You can get the magazine at most books stores or by subscribing and if you want to get an idea of what’s covered in the article- here’s a video I shot for a friend of the podcasting 101 section. Link (QuickTime 3mb).



Today Nintendo announced their super tiny 4 inches wide, 2 inches tall and 0.7 inches deep Game Boy Micro. While it’s not functionally different than the Game Boy SP, it’s a lot smaller and perhaps cheaper. I really like the Game Boy SP / Advance as a hackable platform, in issue 02 of MAKE (shipping now) we have an article about using GB’s as photo viewers, ebook readers, music players and home-brew code devices, the new micro will do all this and more- smaller. We like that. Link.
Yesterday we posted the Retropod saga with accompanying photos of what never was- an iPod case made from a Sony Walkman. But wait! Flickr member nickee has posted another version, a waterproof one! Nicolas’s simple note to me was “How to Protect your iPod Photo when you war kayaking”. Link.
