Make Magazine

From Robert Stribley, a new magazine/book published by O'Reilly (they of the awesome computer books, not he of the often ghastly news network): Make Magazine, about do-it-yourself projects, hardware hacking and other kinds of digital news. A teaser tagline that caught my eye: "A linear accelerator for studying high-energy physics costs around $5 billion. But you can make one for about 30 bucks with four strong magnets, a wooden ruler, some plastic tape, and nine steel balls." Huh.
