Macgyver is back!
A ton of MAKE readers sent word that their favorite alpha-Maker Macgyver made the super bowl “Entitled “MacGyver” the ad finds Richard Dean Anderson’s character in typical fashion: held hostage in a remote warehouse with time running out on a self-destructing bomb. Cleverly, MacGyver uses the purchases he had made with his debit card – everyday items at a convenience store – to free himself and escape to safety.” More info & Link to view ad. But wait, there’s more – MAKE is please to announce Lee David Zlotoff (creator of MacGyver) will be doing a regular column in MAKE!!!
Mattr’s handy Instructable “The “Notebook Akku Hot-swapper” is a device which allows to exchange the rechargeable battery of a Notebook during runtime avoiding the need to shutdown/poweroff the system before the exchange.” 
Janos’s awesome case mod! “I already had a powerful computer setup so I wanted something more quiet, small and low power consumptioning to function as a basic home server. I love to tinker with hardware etc. so I wanted to make something quite unique for a case. I have seen many nice and creative cases before but none of them were made out of a bottle. In November I bought an industrial 3.5″ SBC board (with Socket370). For the project I selected a 1.5 litre Ballantine’s bottle for case. That was the proper size and shape for the task at hand.” [
Unigamer writes “My dream has come true. Ever since last summer when I saw the Skype Video Payphone, I wanted to have a payphone hooked up to VOIP. Not long after I saw that article on Makezine, I put a “wanted” ad on Craigslist Sacramento for a Payphone. I said I wanted it for a project, didn’t have a lot of money I can spend on it, and it didn’t have to be working. I left it alone, never thinking I’d get a response from anyone.”
