This year, along with the gift of spacetime simultaneity, we decide to give the gift of virtuality. (It’s high-concept holidays here at MAKE!)

Starting off with a spacetime acceleration toward a goodness infinity, we’re launching a countdown to the Make: Gift Singularity. Between now and Christmas we’ll be presenting gift project ideas that you can build given the time available. So, projects that take longer will be posted first, giving you enough time to make them and gift them to your intended, followed by increasingly easier/quicker projects.
