MAKE Newsletter

December 14, 2012

Where DID 2012 go? For MAKE, it was an exciting and action-packed year. Look for our Best of MAKE series running on Makezine from Dec. 26 - Jan. 7, to catch up on what you may have missed. We hope you've had a great year, are looking forward to a fun holiday, and are ready for more great things from MAKE in 2013. We'll see you in the new year!

Intern's Corner: Audiobook Project

In the latest installment of Intern's Corner, our regular column where the Lab interns give us a peek at what they're up to, our newest recruit, Nick Parks, builds his first project destined for the magazine: a stack of books that hides a portable audio player.
